Ardie Savea was a monumental presence with his punishing carries for New Zealand but the pace of Louis Bielle-Biarrey proved more potent in the final reckoning.
Ramos, selected at fly-half alongside Dupont, soon punished New Zealand with a penalty from halfway to open the scoring... a warning that the metronomic kicker would ruthlessly punish any indiscipline.
Scott Barrett, the All Blacks head coach, had declared their intention to spoil Dupont's ball and the plan paid off handsomely when Cam Roigard snatched an attempted offload.
