De Groot, Taylor, Laulala, Whitelock, S Barrett, Frizell, Cane, Savea, A. Smith, Mo’unga, Fainga’anuku, J. Barrett, R. Ioane, M.Telea, W.Jordan
Bench: Coles, Ofa T, Newell, Vai’i, Papalii, Roigard, B.Barrett, ALB.
Massive moment for France. First game of a World Cup in their country in their home stadium with their President there and with a home Olympics around the corner.
I hope the All Blacks are going to abandon all the “being too nice” shit and are going to enjoy being massive party poopers at Stade de France. No excuses! Go Black!
I take it this is what you would play, rather than what you think will.
Team naming must be soon...

From allblacks.com; it's correct at this side of the planet.

Interesting that Sky Sport NZ have the game on both Sky Sport 1 and 2.
Channel 1 has the build-up, the game, and post game show.
Channel 2 just has the game. Coverage starting from 7am - 9.15am -
@Canes4life Sky Sport 2 is with commentary in Te Reo.
By the way, this game is also free to air on Sky Open.
