A composition team without surprise. Thursday, November 14, Fabien Galthié lifted the veil on the 23 players of the French XV who will challenge the All Blacks this Saturday (9:10 p.m.) at the Stade de for the second row of the fall tour. 4 changes were made against Japan's winners last week.

Boudehent replaces Cros

Within the pack, only one change: Paul Boudehent, who scored his first two international tries against the Brave Blossoms last week, takes over in the third row from François Cros, who was withdrawn due to a concussion.

Uncertain weather, due to a blow to the iliac crest, 's Thibaud Flament will hold his place in the second row.

The pillar of , Tevita Tatafu, continues with a second selection, and will above all pass a huge test against a high caliber opponent, who remains on two notable victories in England and Ireland.

First for Romain Buros

If the Dupont-Ramos hinge is renewed, no less than 3 changes have been made within the 3/4 line.

The captain Gaël Fickou (91 caps) is preferred to Émilien Gailleton in the center, while the Toulonnais Gabin Villière makes his comeback on a wing, taking advantage of the packages of Damian Penaud (illness) and Théo Attissogbe (knee). He had not been capped since September 2023, and the World Cup match against Uruguay.

Finally, after a long wait, player Romain Buros will make his debut in the French XV. He will wear the number 15 flocked jersey, at the expense of Léo Barré.

Le XV de départ : Buros ; Villière, Fickou, Moefana, Bielle-Biarrey ; (o) Ramos, (m) Dupont (cap) ; Roumat, Alldritt, Boudehent ; Meafou, Flament ; Tatafu, Mauvaka, Gros.
