France vs New Zealand Preview


This is the third tough match in a row for New Zealand and France are a dominant side at home. While the All Blacks have been very good in their two wins, I feel they will run out of steam against France.

Head to Head


France have won their last two games against the All Blacks.

France Form


France are currently ranked fourth in the world but the top five are very close. After being knocked out of the World Cup at the quarter-final stage last year, France finished second in the Six Nations.

While they had a few tough results, particularly a home loss to Ireland and a 13-all draw against Italy at home, the French were reasonably solid.

In June, a second-string side toured Argentina where they won the first Test but last the second to share the series 1-1. Last week France were in command at home against Japan, winning the match 52-12.

Ramos continues at flyhalf with France going to a full-strength side that is captained by Antoine Dupont.

New Zealand Form


New Zealand have had an inconsistent year thus far, but their performances are certainly improving under Scott Robertson. They reached the final of the World Cup last year and finished second to the Springboks in the Rugby Championship.

The All Blacks hosted England in July, winning both matches narrowly before losing to Argentina once and twice to South Africa in the Rugby Championship.

However, on their November tour to date, the All Blacks comfortably beat Japan before beating England 24-22. Last week, New Zealand upset the odds, beating Ireland 23-13 at the Aviva Stadium – a place Ireland had won 19 in a row.

Scott Robertson has picked a very strong side again as he looks to make it three from three on tour. Ardie Savea has moved to flank.
