He kicked 17 points to help the hosts to a 27-13 win in today’s opening game.
New Zealand’s Samuel Whitelock and France’s Charles Ollivon challenge for the ball during the match.
Winger Mark Telea claimed two tries for three-time winners All Blacks, who had led 13-9 with more than half an hour to play but went on to lose their first ever World Cup pool game in hot and humid conditions in Paris. After a colourful opening ceremony the All Blacks’ Haka was well respected by the sold-out Stade de France crowd as well as by Les Bleus.
After 25 minutes, the players benefitted from the first of two water breaks with temperatures reaching 29°C. Mo’unga missed another conversion as the home supporters voiced their displeasure at the playmaker’s assist for Telea, claiming a forward pass, but New Zealand led 13-9. Two minutes later, Penaud got his try as flyhalf Matthieu Jalibert stepped Savea and drew Telea to find him in the same corner before Ramos’ touch-line conversion made it 16-13.
