The essential :
To complete their autumn tour in front of their audience at the Stade de France, Saturday evening, the French have a tough duel with the reception of the All Blacks, benchmark of world rugby.
Fabien Galthié's men won their first two tests in November against Argentina (29-20), then Georgia (41-15).
Main novelty in the XV tricolor: the relegation of Matthieu Jalibert on the bench, in favor of Romain Ntamack who will lead the game of the Blues.
Follow France-New Zealand minute by minute:
8:30 p.m.
Blacks: J. Barrett - Jordan, R. Ioane, Tupaea, Bridge - (o) Mo'unga, (m) A. Smith - Cane, A. Savea, A. Ioane - Whithelock (cap.), Retallick - Laulala, Coles, Moody.
The New Zealanders are deprived of their star Beauden Barrett, victim of a concussion during the defeat in Ireland (29-20) last Saturday, but will be able to count on the return of Aaron Smith in the hinge, alongside Richie Mo 'unga.

The composition of the XV of France: Jaminet - Villière, Danty, Fickou, Penaud - Ntamack (o), Dupont (cap.) (M) - Jelonch, Alldritt, Cros - Woki, Willemse - Baille, Mauvaka, Atonio.
The staff of the Blues has densified its pack to face the physical challenge facing "the best team in the world," says Fabien Galthié.
Who made a strong choice, that of relegating Matthieu Jalibert to the bench, in favor of Romain Ntamack, who finds his position as opener and will form a 100% Toulouse hinge with his captain Antoine Dupont.
