The New Zealand Autumn Internationals team to play France at the Stade de France on Saturday has been announced. Head coach Scott Robertson has made five changes to the XV following the All Blacks’ victory over Ireland last weekend.

Codie Taylor and Beauden Barrett return to the line-up after HIA assessments, while Sevu Reece comes in for the injured Mark Tele’a on the wing. Sam Cane’s head injury last Friday means he misses out, prompting some shuffling in the back row as Samipeni Finau starts on the blindside. Cam Roigard is given the nod to start at scrum-half, with Cortez Ratima on the bench.

Scott Barrett captains the side, as the All Blacks look to win the Dave Gallaher Trophy by claiming their first victory over Les Bleus since 2018.

“It has been special to be here in Paris during Armistice Day,” said Robertson. “We have honoured those commemorations as a team and also acknowledged the significance of the Dave Gallaher Trophy, named after one of our greatest All Black captains who led the ‘Originals’ in the first ever test match against France, and lost his life 11 years later in World War I. This is a trophy we would love to hold, and the players are prepared to take their opportunity in Paris this Saturday night.”

France v New Zealand kicks off at the Stade de France at 8.10pm GMT on Saturday 16 November. (That’s 9.10am NZDT on Sunday.)
