France v New Zealand: Teams

France coach Marc Lievremont has insisted that the pressure is on New Zealand to perform when they head to Marseille.

Les Bleus has won two of their last three victories over the All Blacks, including a memorable 27-22 victory in Dunedin in the summer.

And having already beaten world champions and Tri-Nations winners South Africa in the November Tests, Lievremont believes it is New Zealand who will have it all to prove at the Stade Vélodrome.

"We've won two of the last three matches against New Zealand, including the World Cup quarter-final," said Lievremont.

"It's the last Test of their season, that on which they will be judged. More than us.

"Not seeking to play down the affair but a defeat would be less dramatic for us than for New Zealand, even if we would obviously be very disappointed."

Lievremont has made seven changes in total from the line-up that faced Samoa - with Damien Traille, Fabien Barcella and Fulgence Ouedrago among those returning.

Tough

New Zealand full-back Mils Muliaina admits his side need to deliver, especially after losing four Test matches already this season.

"It's going to be a tough battle and a very tight match," Muliaina said..

"There's no doubting how big a game this is for us given how we went this year and how the French have gone so far in the autumn season.

"To lose four Test matches this season has been disappointing. A win on Saturday means we can get home, sit on the beach and feel much better."

New Zealand coach Graham Henry has made three changes to the XV that beat England 19-6, with Neemia Tialata, Jerome Kaino and Cory Jane recalled.
