Graham Henry pleased with New Zealand's performance

Graham Henry has declared himself pleased with New Zealand's performance against France earlier today.

New Zealand coach Graham Henry was pleased with his side's performance during their 37-17 victory over France earlier today.

The Kiwi's win over their main group rivals has secured their passage through to the quarter-finals.

"It was a very pleasing performance," said Henry. "There were some good tries.

"We finished pretty well at times and put some good things together. It's good to have a decent hit out against some decent opposition.

"It was a step up in opposition, a step up in intensity and, for most of the game, we played pretty well."

Hosts New Zealand are likely to face either Scotland or Argentina in the next round.
