The best team of the moment, the most solid and the most used to playing together, above all.

In an attempt to snatch a first success against the Blacks for 12 years, Fabien Galthié and the French staff have put away the innovations of the start of the tour to stick to the safest barrier gestures.

Dupont and Ntamack at the hinge in the name of "their important collective experience" with Toulouse (and a few titles won in the process), Danty and Fickou aligned in the center, "two players who have played together for three years at the Stade Français", in a immediate “performance” objective.

"We made the best possible preparation"

Matthieu Jalibert will therefore have to chomp on the bench, but the Girondin opener, who defended his association with Ntamack in our columns last week, could have an important role to play at the end of the match, at the same time as a bench. 'before my beefy head on the bench, "able to dominate his opponent from start to finish".

The French team of the Galthié-Ibanez tandem will play its 20th joint test, and everyone feels that the story will not be the same depending on what is being told on the lawn on Saturday evening.

As such, the Irish victory did not especially do our business last week, since it already weakens the performance of the Blues, if it is up to expectations:

“Last week was last week.

We have our story to live, against a New Zealand team that will be different.

Our challenge begins on Saturday.

We will see what we are able to put in front of them.

The only thing I can tell you is that we have done the best possible preparation to get ready ”.

We will quickly find out.
