Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage from the second Test between New Zealand and France in Christchurch.

NEW ZEALAND 30-0 FRANCE

The hooter goes just as France are penalised for knocking on. They had kept hold of possession but only after knocking on slightly when going down in the tackle and New Zealand won't have to try to turn them over and kick out to end this match. Epic defence from the Kiwis.

France with an attacking line-out with just 90 seconds left on the clock...

CONVERSION! It's another great kick from Cruden, albeit it from right in front of the posts and without too much trouble. Still nothing on the scoreboard for France but NZ have extended their lead to 30 points.

TRY NEW ZEALAND! Cruden finds replacement Rene Ranger on the right wing and New Zealand run the ball from their own five metre line. Ranger chips upfield and Cruden sets off in chase. A fantastic offload from Cruden on the ground to another replacement Beauden Barrett, who takes the ball over the line unchallenged.

France still in possession as they attack through Huget on the left wing. But he spills the ball, backwards, in the third tackle and New Zealand dive on the loose ball.

France threatening just inside the New Zealand 22m line but the All Blacks have done enough if not to turn the ball over to at least stop all the momentum Les Bleus had. Just over five minutes remaining now.

Michalak is driven towards the touch-line and up goes the flag from the touch judge as Dagg stops another budding French attack. The French have never before been held scoreless in a Test against New Zealand. But they have just 10 minutes left to get on the scoreboard now.

Ben Franks comes on for brother Owen and Jeremy Thrush replaces Sam Whitelock for New Zealand.

Dagg on the attack again ... Weepu ... Cruden ... Cane ... Weepu ... Whitelock ... Weepu ... Cruden ... Hore ... Read. Forward pass from Hore to Read and it'll be a French defensive scrum five metres out.

PENALTY NEW ZEALAND! Another beautiful kick from Cruden as he lands his third penalty of the day after yet another infringement from France at the breakdown. This is a very tight performance from NZ so far.

New Zealand on the attack again as Ranger earns his side a penalty when France fail to release the ball. Ranger actually one the ball as well but they will have the attacking scrum.

Aaron Smith makes way for Piri Weepu, back from a concussion injury, Julian Savea is replaced by Rene Ranger and Dan Coles is replaced by Andrew Hore.

PENALTY NEW ZEALAND! Cruden adds another three points to the hosts tally after France are penalised for an infringement at the break down.

Louis Picamoles is in all sorts of trouble with a left hip injury. The French number eight will have to be taken off on the golf-cart although fortunately the stretcher will not be needed. Nyanga comes on in his place.

CONVERSION! It's another easy kick for Cruden to add the extras. New Zealand are very comfortably in the lead now - although France have had chances, New Zealand's defence has been so good.

TRY NEW ZEALAND! There were huge gaps in the French defence as a result of them over-committing themselves in the attack and New Zealand just work the ball through their lines before Ben Smith touches down in between the posts after an easy run-over

Machenaud ... Maestri ... Michalak ... France still only five metres out ... Szarzewski ... Machenaud ... Dusautoir ... Mas ... Plante ... Dusautoir .. Huget ... NZ turn the ball over through Ma'a Nonu's charge down.

France work their way to within five metres of the New Zealand try-line. They have started this second half in much the same fashion that they finished the first.

Savea breaks immediately through the French line before an ankle tap by Plante proves just enough to bring the big winger down.
