Last week, France began its Autumn Nations campaign with a win against Japan. 

The All Blacks defeated Ireland at Aviva, as Damian Mckenzie was in fine form. Mckenzie will come off the bench for this game, as Beauden Barrett gets the start at No. 10. 

Keep an eye on Wallace Sititi, who has been elite for the All Blacks as of late.

Here's what to know about the France vs. New Zealand All Blacks match on Nov. 16:

FULL TIME! FRANCE WINS! 30-29!

What a test match! Les Bleus make history with a third consecutive win over the All Blacks! That was a true tussle of two great teams!  WOW!

PENALTY! Damian McKenzie Min 74!

Immediately from the kickoff, the French concede a penalty through Redi Wardi, and McKenzie makes no mistakes to bring the All Blacks back to within one point once again. FRA 30 - NZL 29.

PENALTY! Thomas Ramos! Min 72!

A little bit of breathing space here for the home side, as Ramos slots another penalty following a poor cleanout attempt by All Blacks replacement Ofa Tu'ungafasi on Bielle-Biarrey. FRA 30 - NZL 26.

PENALTY! Damian McKenzie! Min 67!

We are in for a grandstand finish here, as the All Blacks bring it back to just one point through the boot of McKenzie. FRA 27 - NZL 26.

PENALTY! Damian McKenzie! Min 61!

McKenzie capitalizes on some sloppy work at the breakdown from Les Bleus to get the All Blacks back on track. FRA 27 - NZL 23.

What A Turnover! 

Right on their own line, and Charles Ollivon pulls off a textbook turnover to deny the All Blacks what looked set to be a certain try. 

PENALTY! Thomas Ramos Min 57!

The French power game is starting to tell here, as they clatter through the All Blacks maul. Thoams Ramos makes it count with an easy penalty. FRA 27 - NZL 20.

PENALTY! Damian McKenize! Min 54!

France concedes a penalty here, and replacement Damian McKenzie brings the All Blacks right back into contention! FRA 24 - NZL 17.

TRY! Louis Bielle-Biarrey! Min 50!

New Zealand makes one mistake following several good phases, and Thomas Ramos chips downfield, and the Bordeaux winger outpaces the All Blacks cover defense to dot down! 

The hosts are on top for the first time since the seventh minute. Ramos slots the conversion! FRA 24 - NZL 17.

Route 1

The All Blacks are going direct here with several pick-and-go plays, which takes them right up to within 10 meters of the French line, before Gabin Villiers bundles Caleb Clarke into touch. 

Ahead of the line-out, the French make several changes as they look to get some of their tiring big men off the pitch.

TRY! Paul Boudehent! min 43! 

France comes out swinging and barges over for the opening try of the half from a driving maul! 

La Rochelle backrow Paul Boudehent gets another international try, and Thomas Ramos converts! We are back on level peggings here! FRA 17 - NZL 17!

Halftime!

This has been a thoroughly captivating contest, with muscular defending being the order of the day. 

Beauden Barrett has a pop at a drop goal before the break, but it falls short. New Zealand certainly has been the dominant force but only leads by seven points, meaning it is all to play for. Stay tuned!

PENALTY! Beauden Barrett Min 36

New Zealand is going through the gears once again, and France conceded what was an easy three points for a player of Beauden Barrett's class. FRA 10 - NZL 17.

TRY! Romain Buros Min 32!

The hosts are back, and it is the man making his debut who scores the try, as Buros crosses the line, and Ramos slots the conversion! FRA 10 - NZL 14.

TRY! Cam Roigard! Min 27!

That was exceptional from the All Blacks scrumhalf, who intercepted Gregory Alldritt's attempted offload to Antoine Dupont and raced away for the try! Beauden Barrett slots the conversion! FRA 3 - NZL 14.

All Blacks Scrum On Top

Things are heating up at scrum time; from first view, it looked like France was on top, but the All Blacks were awarded a penalty. 

This match is so physical that it has somewhat dulled out the attack flair, albeit both sides have had their chances.

Near-Miss!

Only Antoine Dupont could make a bad 80-meter kick from Thomas Ramos a near try! 

The superstar scrumhalf sprinted from inside his 22m and came within an inch of catching out Will Jordan for what would've been an opportunistic try for the ages.

TRY! Peter Lakai! Min 8

Vintage All Blacks! The Kiwis hit some superb lines through some sketchy French defense, and the visitors hit the front through replacement Peter Lakai! FRA 3 - NZL 7.

PENLATY! Thomas Ramos | Min 7

From 50 meters out, Thomas Ramos drills the first points of the match! FRA 3 - NZL 0.

Flying Les Bleus

France has come out swinging, battering through the All Blacks' defense, only to have a simple knock-on. This has the feeling of a classic already.

Deafening Silence

The 82,000 fans fall silent as the All Blacks do their famous haka under the lights in an otherwise blacked-out Stade de France. 

If this doesn't give you goosebumps, then nothing will! 

Can Antoine Dupont's men continue their strong run against the Kiwis? Remember, they are juts 14 months removed from handing the All Blacks their biggest Rugby World Cup loss.

The Anthems Are Underway

Few venues deliver like the Stade de France when it comes to rugby pageantry, and once again, as La Marseille rains down from the stands, Paris is alive with wonder and anticipation for this clash.
