The New Zealand vs France game of the Rugby World Cup 2011 has just finished with the All Blacks beating the French team by 37 points to 17. New Zealand put the first points on the board and it was a comprehensive performance by the them. 5 tries to 2.
France dominated the first phase of play yet unfortunately for them they did not put any points on the board at that stage. There was lots of action in the game.
Territory was even and in position there was a very slight advantage to New Zealand. Richie McCaw was quite pleased with the match in his 100th test appearance. He is the most test captain in New Zealand rugby history. Has scored the most points for a forward in the All Blacks. Richie was awarded a white All Blacks cap for being the first ever All Black to play 100 test matches.
Graham Henry definitely ranks Richie McCaw as his number 1 player. He leads by example and is a very popular player with everyone. Congratulations Richie!
