New Zealand scored nine tries as they thrashed France 62-13 in their quarter-final at the Rugby World Cup 2015 on Saturday.

Brodie Retallick and Nehe Milner-Skudder went over in the first half, while in the second half, Jerome Kaino and Kieran Read got in on the action. The All Blacks also enjoyed a brace from Tawera Kerr-Barlow and an even more impressive hat-trick from Julian Savea.

Louis Picamoles replied with a consolation for France, who visibly tired in the face of New Zealand's relentless onslaught late on.

The metronomic Dan Carter drew first blood after Thierry Dusautoir failed to release Aaron Smith, and Scott Spedding soon equalised spectacularly from 56 metres off the post after Retallick used his hands in the ruck.

Shortly after, Retallick made amends as he charged down Frederic Michalak's clearance and ran unopposed to touch down, per ITV Rugby:



Michalak was injured in the collision and soon limped off, though former England player Austin Healey believed losing their key man was a blessing in disguise:



Morgan Parra reduced the deficit with another France penalty, but the rampant All Blacks went over again after 23 minutes through Milner-Skudder, who danced through the French line with consummate ease:



Savea scored a third try to make things even worse for Les Bleus. France sparked hopes of a comeback five minutes from half-time as Picamoles crept over the line with three All Blacks players in tow:



Those hopes were quickly extinguished, though, as Savea scored his brace just two minutes later at the corner.

Try-scorer Picamoles made things even harder for his side after the restart when he was sin-binned for pushing his fist into the face of Richie McCaw, and New Zealand took full advantage as they capitalised on the man-advantage to go over on the left. Article Source: Bleacher Report - Rugby Union
