The French XV will launch its 2024 Autumn Nations Series by hosting Japan on Saturday November 9. Enough to launch their fall tour before meeting tougher opponents.
First test of the fall for the XV of France. Fabien Galthié's men will launch their Autumn Nations Series 2024 against Japan, an opponent who is doing well for them (3 victories in 3 matches since 2022).
On the French side, this match will be an opportunity to see Antoine Dupont again with the French XV jersey. Having gone to win gold with France in rugby sevens this summer, the scrum half will regain his status as captain from this meeting. It will also be an opportunity to see the big debut of Tevita Tatafu, called upon to succeed Uini Atonio as right pillar.
For Japan, the objective will be to perform better than against New Zealand. The Japanese fell heavily last week against the All Blacks (19-64) and will inevitably want to make up for it. Far from being favorites, Japan will try to do at least as well as in 2017, when the Samurai held France in check during the World Cup.
At what time and on which TV channel to watch France – Japan?
The meeting between France and Japan, within the framework of Autumn Nations Series 2024will take place on Saturday November 10 at 9:10 p.m. at the Stade de France. This match will be followed live on France 2, France Télévisions having exclusivity on the matches of the XV of France.
The words “Minnesota Miracle” and “No-Call” are erased from my vocabulary. My heart mourns the retirement of Drew Brees.
