Good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE of the opening match of the 2023 Rugby World Cup between France and New Zealand. At the Stade de France in Paris there will be the first match of Group A, a group that also sees Italy, Uruguay and Namibia at the starting line. Match not to be missed between the hosts and the All Blacks, two of the favorite teams to win the final title.
The Blues led by Fabien Galthiè they field the best 15 men available, replacing the absences of Jonathan Danty, Romain Ntamack, Paul Willemse and Cyril Baille with top-level performers. In the first XV captained by Antoine Dupont, the replacements for the four transalpine stars will be Yoram Moefana, Mathieu Jalibert, Cameron Woki and Redda Wardi, ready for use after the excellent responses in the test matches.
For his part, Ian Foster makes four changes compared to the last match played by his team at Twickenham to surprise the home team and dampen the enthusiasm of the French fans. With Lomax and Barrett injured, who could return in the last two games of the group, the All Blacks are ready to battle with a respectable XV.
