The French national team arrives in this tournament as a strong candidate to have a deep run, as the country aims to lift the trophy for the first time. With a star-studded team headlined by Antoine Dupont, France want to make history in home soil.
However, the All Blacks are expected to make things hard. The three-time world champions hope to get back to the top after having to settle with a bronze medal in Japan 2019. Needless to say, this is a must-watch for all rugby fans.
