The All Blacks and France are ranked second and fourth in the world, respectively, but this game is particularly difficult to call. Les Bleus have won the sides’ last three encounters – including a tight 30-29 victory in Paris last November – but travel to New Zealand with an unfamiliar group of players.
With the Top 14 season having ended just a week ago and many of his frontline players turning out for Toulouse and Bordeaux in the final, Fabien Galthié has left plenty of big names at home. As a result, there are 20 uncapped players in his 42-man squad, eight of them set to make their debuts in Saturday’s matchday 23. The head coach will be looking to 94-cap captain Gaël Fickou to supply some experience in the centres.

In contrast, All Blacks boss Scott Robertson has named a side packed with big names, including three Barrett brothers, 2023 Player of the Year Ardie Savea, and prolific try-scorer Will Jordan. There is, however, room for two debutants in the starting XV: second row Fabian Holland and number 8 Christian Lio-Willie.

France has named five uncapped players in its starting XV, including fly-half Joris Segonds, wing Tom Spring, and back row Alexandre Fischer. The team will be without Antoine Dupont, who continues to recover from a knee injury sustained during the Six Nations. Fabien Galthie’s selection mixes veterans like Gaël Fickou with newcomers across the forward pack and backline.
