The French were comprehensively beaten by South Africa in three summer internationals and will need something extra special to see off the All Blacks.
But they are human – and did go down 23-18 to Australia in October.

THIS match will be played at the Stade de France on Saturday, November 11.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm.
Which channel is it on?

He has also brought back Mathieu Bastareaud – who last featured in a humiliating thrashing by New Zealand in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
Rieko Ioane – the star winger in the All Black ranks – has recovered from Mumps and will feature.
