80'
THE FINAL WHISTLE SOUNDS!
And France have claimed a third straight victory over the All Blacks. France edge it 30-29. A brilliant match, but the home side celebrate with their fans.
79'
FRANCE PRESSING BACK THE ALL BLACKS
Bielle-Biarrey can't land on the bouncing ball out wide, but it will not matter. All Blacks with the line-out in their own 22. Which is not what they need or where they need to be.
77'
FRANTIC FINISH HERE
Bielle-Biarrey thought he was going to go over for the winning try before McKenzie is fouled by Dupont. New Zealand can't get out of their own half.
75'
ALL ABOUT THE PENALTY KICKS!
Both sides seems happy enough to trade punches from distance with the lead only one point. Fine margins, and one try might win it either way. Three minutes to play.
73'
THIS MATCH IS HEADING FOR A CLOSE FINALE
This time McKenzie drills over the penalty just inside the home half after France were penalised for foul play. French lead 30-29.
71'
FRANCE HAVE A PENALTY!
A high challenge going against New Zealand this time. Ofa Tu'ungafasi is the man in the dock and shakes his head. Over goes the three from Ramos to increase the lead to four.
69'
FRANCE MAKING LATE ALTERATIONS!
Buros is replaced by Le Garrec which means Dupont survives the cull and moves to 10. All very nervy around the Stade de France.
67'
ALL BLACKS EARN ANOTHER PENALTY!
Scoreboard pressure beginning to tell as All Blacks opt to take the points via the boot of McKenzie boot. France penalised for failing to clear out. Over goes the three points. Game right in the mixer now. France with a lead of only one point at 27-26.
65'
NEW ZEALAND MAKING BIG CHANGES
Aumua, Tu’ungafasi and Tosi are on as Taylor, Williams and Lomax depart the scene. Jordan intercepts a French attack in the All Blacks 22 before the visitors break at speed down the pitch and earn a scrum from a forward pass. Messy from France.
63'
HUGE STEAL FOR FRANCE!
Charles Ollivon denies All Blacks a certain try a metre out, but Dupont can't find touch and back come the All Blacks, who earn another penalty with France under severe pressure. Over goes the pen from McKenzie. Back to 27-23 for the French.
61'
HUGE 20 MINUTES COMING UP
This really is the business end of any Test match, and one where the All Blacks would be keen to apply some serious pressure to the French set-piece. New Zealand have the ball 10 yards from the home line.
59'
FRANCE SET TO SETTLE FOR ANOTHER THREE!
So Ramos prods over another penalty to rebuild the lead to seven points. Taylor penalised for coming in from the side of a maul.
57'
WATCH: FRANCE BRING PASSIONATE PARIS TO LIFE
Amazing what a try will do for the feel-good factor in the Stade de France. This was some score.
55'
OFFSIDE CALL AGAINST FRANCE
New Zealand with the chance to reduce the deficit here. And they opt for the penalty. Ratima and McKenzie on for Roigard and Reece. McKenzie slams over the three points. A 24-20 lead for the home side.
53'
TRY! FRANCE 24-17 NEW ZEALAND
Well, the mood of this match is completely transformed as France suddenly storm ahead in this contest. Vaai offload is nowhere and Bordeaux winer Bielle-Biarrey speeds onto the Ramos kick to give the home side the lead before Ramos converts. French crowd loving this!
51'
FRANCE RING THE CHANGES
Gros, Mauvaka, Meafou and Alldritt depart the hectic scene as Marchand, Wardi, Taofifenua and Guillard come into the action. French rugby fans expect!
49'
VITAL DEFENCE FROM FRANCE
Suddenly the intensity is right on it for the home side as Gabin Villiere gets hold of Clarke's shirt and drags him into touch from the Jordan chip over the top. Vital piece of defensive work in Paris.
47'
WATCH: FRANCE LEVEL UP AGAINST ALL BLACKS
Something suggests this contest won't finish level tonight. A ferocious heavyweight battle in Paris.
45'
TRY! FRANCE 17-17 NEW ZEALAND
And this game is suddenly all level early in the second half. Serious momentum shift in matters. A key line-out win five yards out and the maul sees Boudehent score the try before Ramos floats over the conversion. Game on indeed.
43'
FRANCE HAVE A PENALTY!
Emmanuel Meafou with a surging run to carry the ball deep into the All Blacks 22. Can't get the ball over the line as France spread it left, but an offside call gives France the chance to strike from the line out.
