RUGBY. France – New Zealand: the Blues go to the All Blacks developer… Channel, time, TV

For its second match of the November tour, France welcomes New Zealand this Saturday, November 16. Uncertain, Antoine Dupont is present for this clash against the All Blacks.

After the Japanese appetizer (52-12), it's time for the main course for Fabien Galthié's gang with an enticing France – New Zealand. The All Blacks are in great shape, and have won five games in a row, including in England (22-24) and Ireland (13-23). They are hoping to put the third major nation on the European continent on their list of conquests. 

The French XV is in the midst of a transformation. Fabien Galthié and his staff have decided to develop a more offensive game, and to do so, they have shattered several statuses, including that of Jonathan Danty and Charles Ollivon. In addition to these strong choices, the coach must face a cascade of absentees: Damian Penaud (ill), Uini Atonio (calf), Théo Attisogbe (knee), Cyril Baille (ankle), François Cros (concussion) and Romain Ntamack (Achilles tendon) were forced to withdraw. Antoine Dupont (ill at the start of the season) and Thibaud Flament (injured iliac crest) are them very present.

Facing the press, Fabien Galthié confided before this France – New Zealand by mentioning in particular the potential of the All Blacks: "It's their 6th month of competition, they got off the plane, they beat the English, they put 10 bridges to the Irish, which is very rare. Knowing these people, they are settling scores after having experienced a few difficult years. They want to regain world leadership. They are also taking advantage of a favorable calendar, they can have a team that rolls. As for their strengths, They are capable of responding to all forms of rugby: very good in line fighting, in conquest, in ground and aerial play. They still have as much speed in the three-quarter game. Their attacking structure has evolved. It's been a long time since we faced such a strong All Blacks team."
