I get the differences, I just don't put much store in historical stats for sports teams (beyond say comparing one season with the next) because it typically means very little to the team playing on the day. It was 8 years ago ffs, since then NZ has put up an 8-1 record against France.

edit- just happened to see this on guardian..
"France’s record under Saint-André has been poor. They have failed to finish in the top half of the Six Nations in the last four years, during which time they have not beaten Wales or Ireland, and while comparisons are being made with 2007, when Les Bleus defeated the All Blacks in the quarter-final at the Millennium Stadium, they were then the Six Nations champions and had won the title in three of the four years since the previous World Cup."

/tipfedora to whomever managed to troll the rugby press with the story about the French coach quitting, watching that unfold was excellent fun
