All Blacks defeat France 49‑14 to claim third test win
Damian McKenzie

An attacking masterclass from Damian McKenzie carried the All Blacks to a 49‑14 third Test win over France and a clean sweep of the series.

McKenzie crossed twice, scored 24 points and pulled the strings in a slick New Zealand.

Starting a test at five‑eighth for the first time in place of the injured Beauden Barrett, 23‑year‑old McKenzie's electric pace was too much to handle.

As well as landing all seven conversion attempts, it was McKenzie's tries either side of halftime that swung the momentum.

A 14th‑straight win over France under their belts, the All Blacks' next assignment is twin Rugby Championship Tests in August against Australia.

Meanwhile, Ireland have won the three test series against the Wallabies claiming a historic 20‑16 victory.

This is Ireland’s first series victory in Australia in almost 40 years.
