4 tries for France and 2 for the Blues puts an end to this game here down south. France with the majority of possession found it difficult to play against such a solid defence, even though 4 tries were scored the Blues defence looked solid throughout. France will use this win as an opportunity to give their extended team some game time while on tour while the Blues will regroup now over the next few weeks to finish strong in the rest of the Super 15.

Blues playing the ball inside their own try zone. McKenzie makes a break and play is brought up to the half way line, however a forward pass disrupts the play and possession is given back to the French.

A low scoring first half has bursted into a try coring frenzie in the second. 6 tries scored in the last 25 minutes put a bit of light in the game.

A rolling maul collapses just over the line for France and its substitute Kayser who is last player to touch the ball. France now with 4 tries.

A sneaky inside pass by McKenzie allows the Blues cross the line for the second time, this time rght between the posts.

The Blues get their first try of the game and its a pick and go from the back of the ruck. Pasrons goes low and head first through the fringe defence and barges his way through to cross the whitewash. TMO used again to confirm grounding.

Nakaitaci manages to go over for another try just 2 mins after his first. He manages to step inside his opposite number and runs 20 metres to the line before being taken down just 2 metres short, his momentum takes him forward and he reaches out to touch the ball down. Controversial decision by the TMO awarding the try as from the replay it looked as if there was no pressure on the ball when being touched down.

2 tries in 2 minutes for France. A line out 5 metres from the line is taken by scrum half doussain and sent wide through 7 sets of hands before reaching the right wing and Nakaitaci goes over for his sides second try of the game.

France after 7 phases and 45 minutes have managed to breach the Blues defence and its through outside centre Fickou. The ball is sent wide and Fickou hands off 2 opposition players to cross the chalk for the first time this match. Doussain converts

Half time here in New Zealand and its the visiting side who go in 9 points up. The Blues dominated territory for the first 30 minutes and France could find no way out but any opportunity they were given for a penalty inside the Blues half they capitalised on the boot of Doussain who scored all 12 points. The Blues on the other hand seem to be on the back foot, even with less possession its their defence that could help them in this game. some ferocious tackles being made. France need to get more ball wide and utilise their wingers if they are to find any way through in the second half.
