The French replacement scrumhalf; Jean-Marc Doussain was not used at all in the match. He is of interest to rugby statisticians in that he remains the only player in the world who made his international (test) debut in World Cup final. He appeared for France with 5 minutes left of the 2011 Rugby World Cup final in Auckland, New Zealand.
The French back Gaël Fickou appeared twice in the game; the first time as a temporary replacement for Wesley Fofana and the second as a full replacement for Rémi Lamerat.
This was the final match of the All Blacks Northern tour....and of their 2016 season. They played 13 tests in 2016 for 12 wins and 1 loss.
The win in Paris was their 10th consecutive victory by New Zealand over France.
Israel Dagg’s try was his tenth in this calendar year and Beauden Barrett’s try was his ninth in the calendar year. Barrett’s tally was a world’s best for a flyhalf player in one year.

This was the breakthrough day - NZ beat Wales 19-16 in Cardiff. There's been live TV coverage of every All Black test since.
Gala and Scotland
24 internationals for Scotland 1977–84
A strong and fiery prop from the Scottish Borders area, who gained immortality in Scottish eyes by being Scotland’s captain in the 1983–84 Five Nations championship series – its first outright win of the championship for 46 years. It was also Scotland’s first Grand Slam (winning over each of the other four teams) since 1925.
Why was the France v Ireland match of 1913 played in the morning in Cork?
