Battues 28-14 par les Black Ferns à cause de bourdes techniques (ballons en touche, oublis défensifs), les Bleues (4e) affrontent des Wallaroos classées N°9. L’équipe de France a été largement remaniée (cinq changements, trois néophytes) pour ce match jugé le plus abordable de la tournée d’automne avant le Canada. L’enjeu est autant sportif que psychologique, avec un souvenir de défaite sévère à Dunedin en 2023 et l’obligation de rectifier le tir devant leur public à Aix-en-Provence.
