# Rugby: New Zealand captain Sam Whitelock expects France to go to their traditional playing style when the teams clash in their autumn international at the Stade de France in Paris today. New Zealand is looking to avoid back-to-back defeats for the second time in 12 months, after they lost to the Irish last weekend. Whitelock told the media the experience of being back in Europe for the first time in three years had been a good one for the squad and they learned valuable lessons.
