France names Romain Ntamack at fly-half and Matthieu Jalibert at fullback for the match at Suncorp Stadium after coach Fabien Galthié confirmed the starting XV without injured captain Antoine Dupont.The game kicks off at 9:40 in Brisbane, will be shown live on TF1, and will give two players their first senior caps, including a back-row world Under-20 champion as France tries to steady itself after a 34-32 opening defeat to New Zealand.Organized by the International Rugby Federation as a replacement for traditional tours, the
Nations Championship places immediate stakes on the fixture: the loser risks relegation to a lesser role during the finals weekend in London, and France is using the competition to sharpen its squad for the 2027 World Cup in
Australia.
