There was plenty for French fans to celebrate inside the Stade de France last weekend as Antoine Dupont returned as captain to help his side run in eight tries in a thumping 52-12 victory over Japan. Les Bleus will expect a far sterner test against New Zealand and will have to cope without the injured duo of flanker Francois Cros and winger Damian Penaud. However, they will be buoyed by the fact they have won the last two encounters against the All Blacks.
New Zealand arrive in Paris in good form and with revenge in mind. Having already dispatched England and Ireland this month, they’ll look to complete an impressive hat-trick against the French and avenge last year’s World Cup defeat. The All Blacks have been approaching their clinical best but will be without Sam Cane and Mark Tele’a who both picked up knocks in the victory over Ireland.
Read on to see your France vs New Zealand live stream options and how to watch 2024 Autumn International rugby from anywhere.
