The Herald readers have had their say on the performance of the All Blacks players during their loss to France in Paris.
Ian Foster’s side slumped to a 27-13 defeat to kick off the World Cup, losing in the pool stages for the first time in 32 matches.
But after weighing in with the Herald’s interactive player ratings tool, Kiwi fans did find a few of rays of light amid the gloom, with Mark Telea’s brace seeing the wing lead the way alongside skipper Ardie Savea and lock Scott Barrett.
That trio each earned an average score of seven out of 10 but the news wasn’t so good for the rest of the squad, with prop Ethan de Groot recording the lowest mark of four, shared by substitutes Fletcher Newell and Finlay Christie.
