Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage from New Zealand's third and final clash against France. This one is being played at Yarrow Stadium in New Plymouth with France looking to avoid a whitewash having already lost the series 2-0.

France putting New Zealand under pressure again as Tales puts up a 30m cross kick. The ball goes out on the full though and the All Blacks will have the defensive line-out.

DROP GOAL FRANCE! Florian Fritz gives his side the lead with just the third drop goal of his career. That move came directly from a Crockett penalty in the scrum, France working the ball up the field before Fritz saw his opportunity.

Better pressure now from New Zealand as they seem content to sit in French territory and show the tourists that they are not to be broken down that easily. The All Blacks work the ball through 13 phases before France fashion a turnover and look to run the ball from their own half.

Yohann Huget has gone down and stayed down during that move and it doesn't look good for the French winger. It looks a like a leg injury but he's not really moving. He will go off to be replaced by Mathieu Bastareaud.

Scintilating start from France as Tales puts a grubber kick through and into the try area. Fofana and Fritz are penalised for offside, giving Carter a chance to clear his lines and kick down to the half-way line.

Remi Tales gets the clash underway, kicking straight down the throat of Victor Vito ...

Weepu leads New Zealand in a solid version the Kapa o Pango haka and we are just about ready to go now.
