Romain Buros Set for Debut Against All Blacks

France's fullback Romain Buros is making his debut against New Zealand in an autumn series test. Fabien Galthie has made four changes to the squad. France previously defeated Japan, but the All Blacks are seeking redemption after previous losses. Key players: Gabin Villiere and Gael Fickou.

France's fullback Romain Buros is poised to make a significant entry against New Zealand in the upcoming autumn series test, following his inclusion in the team announced by coach Fabien Galthie on Thursday. The match on Saturday follows France's decisive victory over Japan, where they scored eight tries to win 52-12 at Stade de France.

In preparing for the All Blacks, a team they overcame in the World Cup opening match last year, France anticipates a challenging encounter. "Everything will cause us problems. They got off the plane and beat England at Twickenham, and Ireland by 10 points," Galthie stated, emphasizing the formidable challenge posed by New Zealand.

In the absence of Damian Penaud, still sidelined due to illness, Gabin Villiere will take the wing. Gael Fickou is set to start, replacing Emilien Gailleton, to pair up with Yoram Moefana. Paul Boudehent remains in action after his standout performance against Japan, stepping in for Francois Cros, who was ruled out due to concussion.
