The All Blacks squad to play France was named on 21 June 2026. The squad announcement covered the France test in Christchurch on 4 July 2026.

What that means

  • The named squad was a 34-man group for the Nations Championship Southern Series.
  • The match against France is scheduled for Saturday, 4 July 2026, 7:05 pm at One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch.

Earlier France-series naming

  • In the broader France series context, team selections can also be named closer to each individual test.
  • For example, the 2025 France Test team was named in the week of the match.

Quick note

If you meant the match-day 23 rather than the wider squad, that is usually named later, closer to kickoff.
