Nasty.

The All Blacks made light work of France in the end this morning thanks to seven second-half tries at Eden Park in their opening Test match.

France took an early lead through a Remy Grosso intercept. With 50 minutes on the clock the two sides were tied 11-11. But a controversial yellow for France lock Paul Gabrillague soon after changed everything.

The floodgates soon opened and the All Blacks ran out 52-11 winners, scoring some truly sublime tries.

But there was more controversy late in the game when replacement prop Ofa Tuungafasi landed a very dangerous high hit with his shoulder. Should he have seen red? Have a look below.
