French journo caught watching Football World Cup during Steve Hansen's press conference

June 17, 2018

France's clash with Australia was clearly more pressing than the All Blacks coach.

As All Blacks coach Steve Hansen addressed media, one French journalist switched to watch France's Football World Cup clash with Australia instead.

The media conference followed the All Blacks' 26-13 win in Wellington last night against France. 

Even though the French rugby side couldn't get the win, the footballers took a 2-1 win over the Socceroos in Kazan.
