All blacks' recent loss?

Question

I'm from a country that rugby isn't very popular and I have no cable so I don't know anything about the RWC. But I've seen on answers that the All Blacks lost to France?

Can someone tell me what exactly happened and what match is it (quarter-semis, before that?) and are they kicked out?

Answer 1

Quarter final. Yes the ABs are out!

2 tries on each side. A first half for the ABs, a second one for France, especially when New Zealand received a yellow card.

Enormous defence from the French: ball possession 72% for the ABs, 178 tacklings for France! 36 for NZ! I feel dizzy when I see these numbers...

Answer 2

This loss is a scandal...

I am very sad...

Answer 3

Yeah, the all blacks got beaten 20-18 by france, quite suprising really!  check this:

Answer 4

shattered.yes we out!!stl cant believe it!bt we arnt the only 1s out so is aussie.south africa are favourites to win..sadly.

hope tht helps?

Answer 5

The french (shockingly and unexpectantly) kept the all blacks in front of their defence by "kicking" the ball to the all blacks constantly...The all blacks didn't have any answer...and couldn't break down the french defence and resorted too picking and driving two inches at a time.

The best team with the best tactics won on the day.

Quarter finals and yep they are gone..

Ps) Press conference shortly (announced earlier) where Graham Henry will either be sacked or will resign..

Your other questions...No Way can New Zealand blame the ref.
