They'll need to be solid on their feet at home in the Stade de France. The XV de France have shown what they are capable of in recent matches, and have been in fine form in recent years since Fabien Galthié took over as coach. For their eighth World Cup meeting, the two teams will be keen to get off to a good start and make their mark, but the French are even more eagerly awaited!
