Four changes for France as Galthie names team to host All Blacks

Fabien Galthie has named a France team to host the All Blacks in Paris that has four changes from last weekend’s win over Japan.

The French opened their Autumn Nations Series with a 52-12 Stade de France victory and they have now altered three backs and one forward for the visit of Scott Robertson’s New Zealand.

Romain Buros has been included at full-back for Leo Barre, Gabin Villiere is on the right wing for Theo Attissogbe while Gael Fickou is in the midfield for Emilien Gailleton.

In the pack, injury to Francois Cros has opened the door for the selection of Paul Boudehent at blindside. He was a sub last weekend.

Galthie went with a five/three forwards/backs replacements split against the Japanese but he has now changed it to a six/two divide against New Zealand.
