The All Blacks arrive in Paris brimming with confidence following a 23-13 victory over Ireland and last gasp 24-22 win against England this Autumn.

Often New Zealand’s bogey team, it’s been over six years since the All Blacks last defeated the French. That 49-14 victory came during France’s summer tour in June 2018. Since then the hosts have earned dominant victories in 2021 and at last year’s Rugby World Cup.

Head coach Scott Robertson has recalled veterans Beauden Barrett at fly-half and hooker Codie Taylor with Damian McKenzie and Asafo Aumua dropping to the bench.

Elsewhere, Samipeni Finau starts in the back row, with Cam Roigard preferred at scrum-half and Sevu Reece deputising on the wing for injured Mark Tele’a.

France, meanwhile, make four changes from the XV that pulverised Japan 52-12 in their opening match of the season. In comes experienced centre Gael Fickou, full-back Romain Buros, wing Gabin Villiere and last weekend’s two-try hero Paul Boudehent in the back row.

Paris 2024 gold medal-winning scrum-half Antoine Dupont continues his reintegration from the Sevens side. The instrumental captain will hope to inspire the French to make it three consecutive wins over the All Blacks.

Every Autumn Series match including France vs New Zealand is live on TNT Sports in the UK and can be streamed via Discovery Plus. If watching Down Under you can catch the match live on Stan Sport. And rugby fans following from the US can tune into all the action on Peacock TV.
