The All Blacks continue their end-of-year European tour with a titantic clash against France in Paris. The Stade de France in Saint-Denis hosts this match, which kicks off at 6:45am on Sunday, November 12 (AEDT).
These two nations meet for the third year in a row, after New Zealand enjoyed 24-19 victory in 2016’s end-of-year test and a 62-13 romp in the 2015 world cup quarterfinal.
The All Blacks have knocked off their French rivals in ten straight encounters, with France’s last victory coming in June 2009.
Les Bleus have been a thorn in the side of the Kiwis before, however, having been responsible for early world cup exits in both 1999 and 2007.

FRANCE will take on New Zealand in an autumn international clash tonight.
England beat Argentina 27-14 during last year's autumn internationals. More recently, England beat the Pumas 38-34 and 35-25 to win a two-test summer series in Argentina.

Well, atm I'm 0 for 2 regarding NZ rugby team successes or lack of, after the NZ Maori and NZ Kiwi RL games. It seems the AB test tomorrow morning is the last chance, to try and regather something worth while, this weekend. None from 2, doesn't quite sound as optimistic as yesterday's assumptions of, 2 from 2. Oh well as they say..... stuff does happen.

Ummm, excuse me Roar - I know I need glasses to read the newspaper but divine intervention is needed for both teams if, those are the run-on sides, tomorrow morning....?? Someone has surely, had one glass too many last night, to make such an obvious error in naming the teams, that will play.

I wonder if these all blacks are still young enough or in fact alive enough to win this one?.
