    France have significantly re-worked their line-up for tonight's second test, but All Blacks coach Scott Robertson believes the narrative of them being a B-team has come to an end


    Despite missing most of their front-liners, the tourists only suffered a four point loss in the Dunedin opener.

    The French have made 10 changes for the rematch in Wellington and Robertson says they have to be ready for whatever comes at them
