Reda Wardi (6) : The left column of the Stade Rochelais was created in the absence of Cyril Bailly (calf touch), and retained his place in the crowd, the sector in which the French XV undermined the All Blacks. Clean match, no frills or waste. He was replaced by Gross (53).
Beto Mofaka (6.5) : He replaces Marchand since the 12th minute for a thigh injury. A huge blow from the start for the Blues. But his colleague at Toulousan Stadium did not give up, he entered the match immediately, showing his dynamism and making an impact. Many crucial charges and tackles in spades.
Owiny Atunyo (7) : The right-hander in the 15th from France was the hangman in New Zealand. A titanic match where De Groot was put through a thousand pains. He takes two penalties in a scrum (19), collecting six points. The tough guy in this match. He was replaced by Al-Daghiri (53).
