Teams have been posted earlier so I wont repeat them here...

Key facts and figures for the Rugby World Cup 2011 Pool A match between New Zealand and France at, Eden Park tomorrow.

Pool scenario

- If France win this match, they are guaranteed a place in the quarter-finals of Rugby World Cup 2011.

- New Zealand would also almost certainly go through with a victory here and in that case could only be stopped by Canada taking maximum points (including bonus points) in their last two pool matches against Japan and the All Blacks.

- Canada would also have to ensure victory over New Zealand by more than seven points and keep the All Blacks from scoring four tries.

Head-to-head

- This is the 50th Test match between New Zealand and France. New Zealand have won 36, France have won 12 and there has been one draw.

- It is their fifth meeting at the Rugby World Cup, which will make this one of the most common RWC match-ups, equal to New Zealand v Italy, New Zealand v Scotland, England v Australia and Australia v Ireland.- France and New Zealand play each other at the fourth successive Rugby World Cup. The only other fixture to take place at four RWC tournaments in a row is New Zealand v Scotland at the first four Rugby World Cups.

- France and New Zealand have won two matches each against each other at Rugby World Cups but France have won both of the fixtures played before the finals weekend. The All Blacks have beaten France in the 1987 final and the 2003 bronze final.

- France have won four of the 23 matches between the two played in New Zealand. Only Australia (17), South Africa (nine) and the British (& Irish) Lions (6) have won more times in New Zealand than the French but all three have played at least 15 matches more here.

- France have won two of the last three Tests between the two which have been played outside France, winning the Rugby World Cup 2007 quarter-final 20-18 in Cardiff and the 2009 Test in Dunedin 27-22.

- However, New Zealand have won the last two Tests between the two, in Wellington (14-10) and Marseille (39-12).

- France's win in Dunedin in 2009 was the first match in which they were captained by Thierry Dusautoir.

- Tony Woodcock, Keven Mealamu and Richie McCaw will all play their 10th Test against France, joining 10 other players from SANZAR nations to have done this, a list led by Sean Fitzpatrick (NZL) and John Kirwan (NZL) with 12.

- Mealamu and McCaw can both achieve their ninth victory against France, one short of the record of 10 by a SANZAR player, set by Gary Whetton (NZL) between 1981 and 1990.

- Dan Carter has scored 106 Test points against France and needs 21 more to break the record by a SANZAR player; 126 by Michael Lynagh (AUS).

- Ma'a Nonu has scored four of his Test tries against France, the joint fourth most by an All Black.

- Damien Traille will join 10 other France players who have played against the All Blacks on at least 10 occasions. Traille has been on the winning side twice against New Zealand, two short of the France record of four.

Ad Feedback - France were the last team to beat New Zealand at Eden Park, doing so in 1994.

- France and New Zealand share the Rugby World Cup record of most semi-final appearances (five).

New Zealand

The venue

- Eden Park hosted five matches during Rugby World Cup 1987, with New Zealand and France winning two matches each and Romania one.

- New Zealand have played three Rugby World Cup matches at Eden Park, two at RWC 1987 and one at RWC 2011, winning by a minimum of 20 points each time. Their closest match there was the 29-9 victory against France in the final of Rugby World Cup 1987.

- Eden Park will host 11 matches at RWC 2011, two Pool A matches, one match in each of the other three pools and then two quarter-finals, both semi-finals, the bronze final and the final. Its total of 16 RWC matches will be a record, surpassing Murrayfield's mark of 13.

- The All Blacks have won their last 23 Tests at Eden Park since an 18-18 draw against South Africa in August 1994.

- France are the last team to beat New Zealand at Eden Park, in July 1994. That match is also New Zealand's only defeat at Eden Park in the past 25 years, since Australia won there in September 1986.

- The All Blacks have collected 21 wins from as many attempts at Eden Park in the professional era (1996-2011).

- If New Zealand reach the semi-finals they are guaranteed to play five matches at Eden Park, which will equal Scotland's record of playing five matches at Murrayfield at Rugby World Cups 1991 and 1999.

The line-ups

- New Zealand have made four changes from the team that beat Japan 83-7 last weekend.

- Captain Richie McCaw returns from injury and will win his 100th cap and is the only player change in the pack. Adam Thomson switches back to number 8 to accommodate McCaw and Victor Vito drops out of the 22.

- Andy Ellis and Colin Slade are replaced by Piri Weepu and Dan Carter while Israel Dagg is also back from injury at full back in place of Isaia Toeava.

- McCaw will be the first All Black to reach a century of caps and the 19th from all rugby playing countries. McCaw is one of three players at Rugby World Cup 2011 who can win their 100th cap during the tournament. Teammate Mils Muliaina and Australia's Nathan Sharpe with 98 and 96 caps respectively are the others.

- The All Black XV for Saturday's match is full of experience, boasting 727 caps among them. There have been only three more experienced All Blacks teams, in the two Tri Nations matches against Australia last month and the 2010 Bledisloe Cup match in Hong Kong.

- New Zealand's most experienced line-up, which beat Australia 30-14 at Eden Park last month, had only 39 caps more than the XV selected to play France on Saturday.

- Three of the team - Tony Woodcock, McCaw and Carter - also started the Rugby World Cup 2007 quarter-final match against France. Andrew Hore and Ali Williams, who have been named among the replacements for this weekend's match, also played in that match.

- France have selected an experienced starting XV with 634 caps. Since Rugby World Cup 2007, they have played only one match with a XV with more caps. That was in March when a team with 646 caps in the starting XV lost to Italy in the Six Nations championship.

- France coach Marc Lièvremont has made five player changes and two positional changes to the team that beat Canada 46-19 last Sunday.

- Hooker Dmitri Szarzewski makes his Rugby World Cup 2011 debut in place of William Servat, Lionel Nallet and Thierry Dusautoir return in place of Romain Millo-Chluski and Fulgence Ouedraogo.

- In the backs, Trinh-Duc and centre David Marty drop out of the XV with their places being taken by players switching positions: Parra to fly half and Aurélien Rougerie moving back to outside centre. Dimitri Yachvili and Maxime Médard are selected at scrum half and left wing respectively.

- Morgan Parra makes his first start for France at fly half, having played parts of the matches against Japan and Canada in that position.

- Parra will become the second player ever to start Rugby World Cup matches at both scrum half and fly half after Taniela Moa became the first last week. The Tongan started at scrum half in the 41-10 defeat by the All Blacks and switched to fly half for the 25-20 defeat by Canada.

- Parra will be the sixth player to start for France at both scrum half and fly half but only the third post-war player to have played in both positions in the French team.

- The most recent was Frédéric Michalak with three of his first four starts for France at scrum half before he reverted to his more familar position in the French team. Jean-Louis Berot, who won 21 caps for France between 1968 and 1974, is the other post-war player to start in both positions. His first four starts for France were at scrum half, after which he moved to the No 10 position for his other 17 caps.

- Eight of France's 22 on Saturday played some part in the 20-18 victory over the All Blacks at Rugby World Cup 2007. They are Szarzewski, Poux, Bonnaire, Dusautoir, Harinordoquy, Heymans, Clerc and Traille. Dusautoir scored France's first try in the match.


The referee

- Alain Rolland (IRE) has been named as the referee for a record 12th Rugby World Cup match. He will be equalled by Jonathan Kaplan, who will referee his 12th RWC match next Tuesday when Canada take

Yellow for that? Come on.

What saved him was that both jumped for the ball and when he got there he did wrap around his arms but he didn´t first wrap his arms round him. He was going for the ball but got short and the ref didn´t see him as going in to tackle right from the outset. A penalty maybe but a yellow: get real.

What impressed me today was that we fronted. Our set piece was strong and there was some much needed aggression, notably from Thorn and Kaino (Franks wasn´t that notable) with McCaw changing roles in the backrow to suit the situation.

If we get front foot ball, then we are allowed to do what we do well in the backs. The times we´ve lost this year, we´ve been off the pace at the breakdown. Aggression and attitude are key and we looked good out there on home soil. Lovely weather helped for running play as well.

[HammerofThunor]

+1

aucklandlaurie, he did grab him in the air. Penalty but that's it.

[kiakahaaotearoa]

I found some of the French theatrics quite cynical. Parra premeditated a theatrical dive in the early exchanges and though Kaino was silly with the elbow, the player going to ground looked like one of the hammiest performances I´d seen in a while.

Football has yellow cards for such theatrics. Not saying I think either incident deserved a penalty let alone a yellow but I still don´t like it on the rugby field. McAlister saw yellow in 2007 for a late tackle. Maybe the French thought they could get the same today.

[hawalsh]

Definitely not a yellow, should have been a penalty though. He wasn't looking to take Traille out, but he was a fair bit short, and having bumped him he shouldn't have then grabbed on to him in mid-air, Traille could have landed more forgivingly. The ref would have been a brave man to give that penalty against the home side that early on though. Ultimately it almost certainly wouldn't have made a difference.

[aucklandlaurie]

i'll have to have another look at it on one of tomorrows replays. Maybe you do have a point because I usually dont agree with Rolland.

Kia kaha kia toa
i agree,you make some good observations, I like the plays mid way through the 1st half ,where Weepu and carter were prepared to go back to get play into the spine, and make france defend both sides of the ruck.

[gelodge]

Should have been a penalty for the early obstruction on Parra as well. Yes Parra completely milked it, but Dagg undoubtedly altered his course and made sure he spun his shoulder round. Early points could have made a big difference in France getting their tails up.

If GG was here I'm sure he would agree it's further proof of home crowd effect on the ref.

[aucklandlaurie]

Gee do you people only see rugby as a game involving the accumulation of points via punitive measures?

[HammerofThunor]

gelodge, didn't think there was anything that one. Or the 'elbow'.

[Biltong]

Should have been a penalty for the early obstruction on Parra as well. Yes Parra completely milked it, but Dagg undoubtedly altered his course and made sure he spun his shoulder round. Early points could have made a big difference in France getting their tails up.

If GG was here I'm sure he would agree it's further proof of home crowd effect on the ref.

France was never going to get their tails up in this match, speculating that a little luck their way would have made the match more competitive is grasping at straws.

[monty junior]

I don't think France really ever had a chance, when the All Blacks have a clear game plan with McCaw and Carter on the field they can butcher anyone. Lucky for France they only played for 20 minutes.

[aucklandlaurie]

France had all the ball inthe first 15 minutes and territory. when international players have to start milking penalties like soccer players we may as well all give the game away.

[kiakahaaotearoa]

Too right aucklandlaurie. Got no place in the game. Take up theatresports if you want to do that carry on.

I loved how in that first half the importance of having the right attitude at the breakdown has on the making of the game. The French were touted as having a monster pack but they were bullied and their backs were made to look like children. You could see the French players looked stunned and punch drunk and the ABs were ruthless in scoring when they got opportunities.

Carter showed Parra what a true first five is capable of. It was good to see him running so freely and no doubt he will get protected now. I´d still like to see him play but chuck on Slade after 40 against Canada and give him game time at first five rather than on the wing. In saying that, the kid did nothing wrong when he came on today. But coming on when the game is won is not the same as starting the game with everything to play for and the pressure that comes with that.

[aucklandlaurie]

Actually on th esize of the French pack,apparently they only weighed 880 kilos which compared to samoa and SA at around 930 is pretty small..

[aucklandlaurie]

Anyway peoples all overthe World, its after mid night ,and I"m avery tired little Kiwi. today was my 4th test in 15 days. see you.

[englandglory4ever]

Very poor French performance today. They didn't seem to look up for it. Far too many areas of weakness and were pretty much out muscled in the backs. Very disappointing from a NH point of view but setting up nicely for a France v England quarter. England should win that comfortably looking at both performances today. However, sport isn't like that and France will look for a backlash.

[kiakahaaotearoa]

France play Tonga and England play Scotland now. The latter might prove more tiring than the former.

England will be confident but you´d have to think it´s unlikely the French pack will play so poorly for that game. Promises to be a huge game in a dream quarter final line up.

[Cymroglan]

England had a good win today but I would not compare the performances .

[kiakahaaotearoa]

Scotland are masters of their destiny. They still could spring a few surprises in their pool. Improbable but not impossible.

Think a few backline changes will be made for France. They have the dilemma of having a goalkicker on fire but who is keeping out their best halfback. Kicking will be more important against England but having a specialist first five is just as important. Medard was a disgrace on defence today. Heymans needs to come back.

[doctor_grey]

Not thinking about the probable England-France match yet.

I do think France had their way in the first 10-15 minutes. But they have to convert that advantage into points. When they failed, and the ABs had that counrter attack try, France was on the back foot. A shame from the standpoint of a competitive match because the match could have been so much more.

Regarding the penalties. I believe both the cross field kick and the obstruction on the early grubber should have been penalties. Neither close to yellow, but simple penalties. Certainly would have changed the complexion of the first half.

[kiakahaaotearoa]

Certainly is perhaps too strong. Both were difficult kicks. Agree the Jane one could have been given a penalty but Parra went looking for trouble and don´t think any penalty there.

If France had scored, then the game might well have been different. But that backline of France in particular were bullied by the ABs and almost every time the ABs had the ball, particularly in broken play, it seemed a line break was on. Maybe points would have lifted the French forward performance and front foot ball would´ve made the French backs shine more. But Nonu had it over Mermoz and Carter exposed Parra´s inexperience at 10. That would´be proved costly sooner or later.

[Notch]

England will certainly go in confident to an England-France quarter-final and France less so, and that means a lot in sport. However we've seen that teams (well, just Ireland really) are capable of ripping up the form book for a one-off game. Smart money would be on England, but France are just one of those sides who can shrug off a poor game and seemingly turn up like a whole new team.

What I find interesting is that when I watched the French against Ireland in Dublin in the warm-up games they were much better than us but they haven't really improved since that point. I think England, Wales and Ireland have all played much better in the RWC than in the warm-ups thus far and New Zealand and South Africa have kicked on since the TriNations. On the other hand, France are still more or less where they are in August. Some individual players like Clerc have come into a good run of form but the team as a whole isn't that much better.

[whocares]

quite frankly, france performance wad better than in their 1st two games so in a way they are getting better (or less worst) so there is at least some positives to take from this game which would be enthousiasm and solidarity.

when canada and japan put 20 points past your defense, it is not a surprise if NZ put 37...

now for the negatives: very naive defending (specially from the forwards on at least 2 tries) , an ineffective scrum (an experienced TH like Mas was really missing) and lack of support when attacking (also not helped by the domination of the ABS in the rucks)

dont think parra at 10 is to blame nor one missed tackle by Medart, the backs when they had the ball did ok (well appart traille) but the key of the game was definitely the NZ defense which was immense throuhout the game. as kia says, their attitude and commitment helped them to deny any chance of france doing something vaguelly dangerous, their backs just finished the job as usual.

luckily france will not have to play NZ in the next couple of games and hopefully they will improve a bit..
to those who say that NZ show england how to beat france, it might be true however I doubt the execution of this plan by tindall and co would be remotely close to the lesson showed by the ABS....

[englandglory4ever]

After this weekend England should take confidence that they can execute their plans at some pace whilst France will be feeling like the 7 stone weaklings of world rugby.

If I were a betting man my money would be on an England win against both Scotland and France in the quarters.

[emack2]

I have just watched the match,but before i make any observations I will say this.
Taylorman,I am not on a different Planet,and you should know that if Imake a historical reference.It is aposite and measured.
The reference to 1956,when a whole nation rose to will The All Blacks to Boks for the first time anywhere.
1987 was the All Blacks there only RWC win and id rubbished by many NOT ME!!!!
I don`t need telling the best side in the World since RWC `s have been played.the AllBlacks 80.80 % win rate does that NOT ME!!!.
The importance of this match was to display two things,they could beat France AGAIN in a RWC.,and to win the group so as to have history on there side in the run in.
Finally to maintain there record of never losing a pool game.[with due respect to Canada.
Now to the game itself,France started really well in the first 10 and finished
strongly.Last try was great iniative but a bit sneaky,but Hey if the Ref .gives it.
Great job of refereeing by Rolland was fair to both sides,not very many penalties[kickable for either side]
All Blacks great aggresive defence,scrum and lineout[two handed takes not just wild taps].mostly taking the right options ruthless finishing.
Discipline mostly good,nice Hollywood from Yach villi running into Kaino`s elbow and milking the penalty.
Mc Caw and Carter back to near there best,Dagg , Nonu immense,invidious to speak of anyone really it was a real team effort.
Conrad Smith ,so many talk him down because he isn`t flash,is defensive back line lynchpin .with a computer of a brain that puts him 3 moves ahead.
He never misses a tackle,history in 2003 and 2007 stresses the importance of that.
The Forwards are saying ,yes we can match physiciality with the best,supply are backs with front foot ball they will score try`s.
ITV commentary was so biased it was untrue towards France,and comments about.France playing England,All Blacks playing Scotland or Argentina in the Quarter finals,and australia in the Semis is disrespectful to the teams concerned and give viewers the wrong impression.
Falling off by All Blacks ?give credit where it`s due France upped there game.
Worrying injuries Thompson ifhe`s gone get Todd in the squad tout suite.
Dagg hopefully and Cory jane will recover,Muliana will get a run with Canada.
Comments about Carter not 100% if so lord help other sides when he is,a couple of discordant notes.The intercept pass for the try,and one or two little dink stab/grubber kicks in your own red zone not clever..
But really a great performance another Marseille result for France,with that one out of the way I can relax a bit.Much as I dislike the things another RWC title for the AB`s before I die would be nice.At my age this maybe my last,certainly it should be the best chance.

[Taylorman]

I agree with the match report- But I just don't get the references to 56 and so on. We're in a world cup and 56 has no relevance whatsoever so I'm not going to dwell on it.

But that aside the MOST significant thing out of this is we've got a good workout nearer to the knockouts- previously unprecedented for the AB's. With world cups there are two common threads- easy pool play- I'm not particularly proud of a 100% pool record as those matches are always the easiest we play every 4 years.

The other one is our inability to score tries (or points) during some of the big matches. This match will have resolved at least one of those issues and certainly helped the other.

Back three are stuffed again with Kahui pulling things again- man he's brittle. Dagg has a bruised thigh so he should be ok- 99 for Mils next week for certain. (Long term I'm hoping we get the easiest final possible- should we gwt there- and can afford to have Mils on the bench- on the field for his 100th- but thats a luxury).

Read is back next week and good thing is McCaw and Carter, Nonu, Smith, Kaino and all the tights are fine. Thompson- ankle but Read is back so hes got two weeks to sort that one.

Fantastic result I reckon. We've already topped the pool bar a 1000 nil type Canada win so next week those who need the gametime only- McCaw, Carter etc can probably go to the bench or off and we've time to sort injuries. Couldnt be in a better position.

[Guest]

well played new zealand but france were pretty poor in all honesty.

[rodders]

well played new zealand but france were pretty poor in all honesty.

To be fair to both teams I think France were poor because NZ made them look poor by smashing them up front. France certainly started very strongly. NZ were pretty awesome I thought. The power,skill and pace in their backline is phenomenal and when their forwards dominate like that it's game over. Nonu looks like a world player of the year contender right now.

[emack2]

Cory Jane is Ok.Dagg Bruising,Kahui Hamstring,Thomson damaged Ankle is that right?
So they can afford Toeva and Cory jane plus Muliana starting v Canada.
Vito/Read cover 8.Slade cover 15,wing,flyhalf.
Thomson was immense when on Mc Caw had a blinder.
Italy,and Scotlands two matches are key for this group now.

[Taylorman]

Yep good games today too. Here theyre saying they want Argie to win as they'll give us a tougher match for the semi (^%$#%#- hate it when they talk like that) but it makes sense.

Neither should troble us now after that it out. The team finally has a completeness about it with no real weak areas- even Weepu did well at 9.

Finally things are starting to come together...

Only the boks, at a push, will stop NZ. You play them in the semi, it will be the game of the tournament.

He jumped for the ball, realized he couldn't make it and went for the tackle. Malicious no, but dangerous, yes. It wouldn't have been unjustified to award a yellow card, it's dangerous and could seriously injure a player. I've seen them given for less.
