All Blacks Put France to Sword as Dave Gallaher Trophy Returns to New Zealand

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND, JUL 11 – Midi Olympique highlights how key tactical changes could influence the All Blacks' chance to maintain dominance over France in their upcoming rugby test match.

  • On July 12, 2025, at Sky Stadium in Wellington, the New Zealand All Blacks secured a decisive 43-17 victory over France in the second match of the Test series.
  • France fielded an inexperienced side with only 60 Test caps combined as their coach replaced many veterans to develop players on tour.
  • The All Blacks dominated through a strong forward display, scoring six tries led by Ardie Savea, Tupou Vaa'i, and Cam Roigard, while France struggled to match pace and power.
  • At half-time, the score stood at 29-3, with Savea commenting that the team stepped up to secure the win, while France wing Emilien Gailleton conveyed the team's clear dissatisfaction with the final margin.
  • New Zealand secured a 10th straight home win over France and clinched the three-match series, with the final Test scheduled in Hamilton next Saturday.
