The XV of France wants to continue. A week after their big victory against Japan (52-12), the Blues return to the Stade de France this Saturday, November 16. This time, the opposition should be tougher since Antoine Dupont’s teammates find the All Blacks, reigning vice world champions.
An open meeting
The last confrontation between these two nations took place during the 2023 World Cup, during the opening match. In a white-hot Stade de France, the Blues won the victory (27-13) and launched their competition perfectly. Fabien Galthié’s players have two consecutive victories against New Zealand.

However, we will have to be wary of the form of the Blacks, who remain on a sparkling series of five consecutive successes, counting the Rugby Championship and the start of their autumn tour. So pay attention to the formation of Oceania.
