The All Blacks vs France 2025 prediction is heating up as the two rugby giants prepare for a three-Test series in July. With France visiting New Zealand for the first time since 2018, fans are eager for insights into this clash. Here’s our All Blacks vs France 2025 prediction and breakdown of the upcoming matches.
All Blacks’ Strengths in 2025
The All Blacks, under coach Scott Robertson, are building momentum after a strong 2024 season. Players like Damian McKenzie, who shone as a top fly-half, will lead the attack. The team’s home advantage at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on July 5 and Sky Stadium in Wellington on July 12 gives them an edge. Their historical record against France is solid, with a 42-11 win at Eden Park in 2007, showcasing their dominance.
France’s Challenge
France arrives with a weakened squad, as Top 14 finalists won’t be available for the tour. Despite this, their flair, led by stars like Antoine Dupont, could pose a threat. The final Test in Hamilton on July 19 at FMG Stadium Waikato will be historic, as it’s France’s first Test there since 1961. France’s last win over the All Blacks in 2024 (30-29) shows they can compete.
Series Prediction
The All Blacks are favored to win 2-1, leveraging their home crowd and experience. France might steal the second Test in Wellington, but the All Blacks’ depth should secure the series.
