France team to face All Blacks in Paris

France have named inexperienced half-back duo Anthony Belleau and Antoine Dupont in the starting XV to face New Zealand on Saturday.

Toulouse scrum-half Dupont, 20, has been capped three times while 21-year-old Toulon fly-half Belleau will win his first cap against the All Blacks, the French Rugby Federation has announced.

Wrecking-ball centre Mathieu Bastareaud returns to Les Bleus' squad for the first time in more than two years, with his last appearance in the quarter-finals of the 2015 World Cup where New Zealand beat France 62-13.

La Rochelle centre Geoffrey Doumayrou is set to win his first international cap along with second-row Paul Gabrillagues (Stade Francais) and flanker Judicael Cancoriet (Clermont).

After the New Zealand match at Stade de France, Les Bleus take on the All Blacks again on Tuesday before facing South Africa and Japan.
