It was a good game. It was for France to show how to contain the All Blacks, and then, if they could, build a lead, and win.
They did just that. I don't think any team takes the pitch against the All Blacks without having a defensive mindset of some sort. You can only beat the All Blacks if they fail to beat your defense, and your open play is better than theirs. For France, it was. That last try was a good summary of the game. All open play, every player pushing hard, taking every chance, never giving up, even though they must have been exhausted in that heat, in the last minutes of the game.
With France taking the risk and not playing with 60 minute, meat factories, where you see a prop running like that so far in to his game.
