# Rugby: France had been boosted by the inclusion of five Top 14 stars to their squad ahead of their three-Test away series against the All Blacks. Head-coach Fabian Galthie has selected centre Pierre-Louis Barrassi and lock Joshua Brennan from the Top 14 champions Toulouse, as well as flankers Pierre Bochaton and Bastien Vergnes-Tailler, and centre Nicolas Depoortere from Bordeaux-Begles. The five players are expected to miss Saturday’s opening Test in Dunedin, but are up for selection for the second and third.
