France have defeated the All Blacks in a highly contested game, winning 40-25. Video / Sky SportAfter their first trip to the Northern Hemisphere in two years, the All Blacks have learned they've got some work to do. The last time the All Blacks met Ireland was during the 2019 World Cup, where the All Blacks won 46-14. With the World Cup now just two years away, the All Blacks are halfway through their preparations to wrestle back the Webb Ellis Cup.
