The first match kicks off at 3:05 a.m. ET, with FloRugby’s live coverage beginning at 2:55 a.m. ET.
This marks the first meeting between the two nations since France edged New Zealand 30-29 in the 2024 Autumn Nations Series in Paris. That match was decided by a late penalty, but this time, the All Blacks are back on home soil, starting their season with a statement opportunity.
Ardie Savea, widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, is expected to start for New Zealand.
France, meanwhile, will be without star scrumhalf Antoine Dupont, who remains sidelined as he continues recovery from a torn ACL suffered earlier this year against Ireland in the Six Nations.
France arrives with a squad missing several established stars but featuring experienced veterans and promising newcomers.
Despite being on opposite ends of the globe, New Zealand and France have a rich history.
Here are some all-time stats before the first match:
