Is New Zealand v France on TV? Kick-off time, team news, channel and how to watch All Blacks
The All Blacks survived a real scare from a largely second-string French side in the opening encounter, prevailing 31-27 in a real thriller.

This inexperienced French side has already proved, however, just how much talent is coming through in the country and will now seek a really significant win.

Team news
With Scott Barrett ruled out through injury, Ardie Savea captains the All Blacks as Patrick Tuipulotu is brought into the second row as one of two enforced changes to the New Zealand side. Caleb Clarke also comes on to the wing for Sevu Reece. but Scott Robertson keeps continuity elsewhere - though explosive centre Timoci Tavatavanawai is primed for a debut off the bench.
Though hardly full of experience last week, this French side has an extraordinarily callow look, an average of just over four caps per player in the starting XV significantly reduced with centre Gael Fickou not involved. 10-cap hooker Gaetan Barlot leads the side from a pack that includes four debutants, including lock Josh Brennan, the son of former Ireland international Trevor. Two more first-cappers could come off the bench in Bastien Vergnes-Taillefer and Thibault Daubagna.
New Zealand XV: 1 Ethan de Groot, 2 Codie Taylor, 3 Fletcher Newell; 4 Patrick Tuipulotu, 5 Fabian Holland; 6 Tupou Vaa'i, 7 Ardie Savea (capt.), 8 Christian Lio-Willie; 9 Cam Roigard, 10 Beauden Barrett; 11 Caleb Clarke, 12 Jordie Barrett, 13 Billy Proctor, 14 Rieko Ioane; 15 Will Jordan.
France XV: 1 Baptiste Erdocio, 2 Gaetan Barlot (capt.), 3 Georges-Henri Colombe; 4 Joshua Brennan, 5 Matthias Halagahu; 6 Pierre Bochaton, 7 Jacobus van Tonder, 8 Esteban Abadie; 9 Nolann Le Garrec, 10 Joris Segonds; 11 Emilien Gailleton, 12 Pierre-Louis Barassi, 13 Nicolas Depoortere, 14 Theo Attissogbe, 15 Leo Barre.

It's like 2005 again… spats, niggles and flare-ups but mutual respect
W ith Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer centre stage at Lord's on Monday, much was made of the six-year anniversary of the World Cup final, when, inspired by both players, England won a tight encounter against New Zealand, just as they did against India. Yet, when Mohammed Siraj slumped over his bat moments after the leg bail had plopped down ever so gently from its groove, there was another anniversary that resonated too. As Joe Root and Zak Crawley went to commiserate with the disconsolate Siraj, it was impossible not to think back to the 2005 Ashes and the moment, seconds after the end of the Edgbaston match of that series, when Brett Lee went to his haunches in similar fashion, to be consoled by Andrew Flintoff. It became the defining image of the summer, much as, one suspects, the final moments of the Lord's Test will become for this one.

Jack Conan says nerves mounting as Lions prepare to name first Test team
Jack Conan admits the British and Irish Lions squad are feeling the tension as Andy Farrell prepares to reveal who has claimed the ultimate prize of a Test place against Australia. Six matches into their tour, all of them producing wins except the Dublin curtain-raiser against Argentina, and the Lions management have finalised selection for Saturday's series opener at Suncorp Stadium. Advertisement The players will be told who has made the matchday 23 at a meeting on Wednesday and Conan believes the performances delivered over the last four weeks have not made selection easy. Tuesday Training 🏉 T minus 4 days to the 1st Test 🇦🇺🦁 #Lions2025 — British & Irish Lions (@lionsofficial) July 15, 2025 'Everyone will be a bit nervous, but everyone has gone incredibly well, especially in the back row,' said Conan, who is expected to be named at number eight when the team is officially announced on Thursday. 'It's tough for the coaches, I'm sure, and hopefully we've given them plenty of headaches over the last while. No matter who's been out there, they've taken their opportunity really well. 'It's about those lads who get to run out at the weekend to do right by the lads who aren't playing. Advertisement 'It's going to be unbelievably special to play the first Test so hopefully everyone can make the most of it.' No area of the team has been more competitive than the back row, with Conan the closest thing to a certainty given he is the only specialist number eight in the 44-man squad in Australia. England duo Ollie Chessum and Tom Curry just hold the edge in the race to be picked as flankers, but Farrell is blessed with options in both positions. 'There's huge amounts of class and talent in the back row. It's been great to get to know the lads, to learn off them, to see how they do things and to push each other on as well,' Conan said. Advertisement 'That level of talent pushes everyone on to be your best and I think everyone has been at their best. No one can say they've been poor over the last few weeks. 'Especially in the back row, the standard has been unbelievably high, so it's been a joy to play with the lads and get to know with them.'

'It's a weird one': Scotland's latest cap ready to head home

There weren't too many positives to take from Scotland's tour loss to Fiji in Suva but the performance of Fergus Burke at stand-off was certainly one of them. The Saracens 10 found himself making a few more tackles than he had anticipated on his Test debut but he acquitted himself well in what was a relentlessly physical encounter. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He was in good voice too, by all accounts, with a rendition of the Fijian gospel tune 'E Da Sa Qaqa' at the post-match dinner to mark his first cap. Fergus Burke made his full Scotland debut against Fiji. | SNS Group / SRU 'I went for a Fijian song so the Fijian community could all join in and help me out,' he said. 'So I think I did about the first line of the song and then let them take over.' Scotland hope to be back on song on Friday when they take on Samoa in the final match of their tour at Eden Park. It is a venue at which the Scots have never won but one that is familiar to New Zealand-born Burke who will have family and friends supporting him in the stands. Burke, who hails from Gisborne on North Island, around 300 miles south-east of Auckland, qualifies for Scotland through his Edinburgh-born grandfather and now finds himself returning home to make his international breakthrough. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Burke: 'Almost like it was meant to be' 'It's a weird one, it's almost like it was meant to be,' he said. 'I was in the Six Nations squad and didn't get a crack so it was almost like this is where I was meant to get my first opportunity so my family could actually be here and things like that. So it is pretty cool and I'm definitely not taking it for granted and soaking it all up.' Defensively sound, with good hands and an eye for putting players into space, Burke impressed against the Fijians on an afternoon when Scotland were second best. He played in Tom Jordan for the Scots' second try but they were on the backfoot for the most of the game. 'I spent a bit more time on defence than I would have liked, and probably ended up making a few more tackles than I would have liked,' said Burke. 'I probably would have liked to spend a bit more time on attack but I guess that's something we can look forward to this week. Fergus Burke was part of Scotland's Six Nations squad. | SNS Group / SRU 'I think we can expect a similar challenge to Fiji and I think for parts of that Fiji game we showed how good we are as a team when we get it right. But when we get our discipline wrong we end up making a lot more tackles than we need to and we're tiring ourselves out against big sides like Fiji and Samoa. So we need to get the discipline side of our game right and that way we can be a bit better.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Burke has played Super Rugby at Eden Park with Crusaders, scoring a try there against the Blues in 2023, and is looking forward to returning to one the sport's most storied venues.
