Nick Cain, The Times:

"France will need an army of psychologists to get their heads around this hammering in Lyon after the All Blacks delivered a huge blow to the hopes of the 2007 World Cup hosts by dismantling them with a sublime display of counter-attacking rugby, scoring a staggering seven tries."

Grant Fox, Sunday Star Times:

"I thought I had died and gone to heaven. This was a phenomenal performance."
