France vs Fiji preview

France's serious heads are on after Romain Ntamack's devastating injury news, which can only be unfortunate timing for Fiji, who are in line to get their first taste of Summer International rugby at the Stade de France. Rather than them us.

France and Scotland contested another thriller last weekend, which this time went the way of Les Bleus, but the victory came at a heavy price, with starting fly-half Ntamack set to miss the World Cup with a ruptured ACL. Matthieu Jalibert will likely take his place in the team, and with only one more warm-up game to play, he'll have to find his feet quickly. 

Fabien Galthie's men started wonderfully, with Antoine Dupont impressing in particular, but the way they ran out of steam showed how much work they still have to do.

Galthie, who will name his World Cup squad on Monday, has handed the No.10 jersey to La Rochelle fly-half Antoine Hastoy, who’s in line for just his fourth international cap at the Stade de France. Jonathan Danty and Gregory Alldritt are the only two players to retain their places in the starting XV  from last weekend.

Fiji have steamrolled Japan, Samoa and Tonga in recent weeks to climb back into the top 10 in the world rankings, but it's this clash with France that Simon Raiwalui's men have really been waiting for. 

Bristol star Semi Radradra takes the Fiji captaincy in the absence of Waisea Nayacalevu, and Simon Raiwalui has deemed winger Josua Tuisova fit enough for his first start of the summer. The man known as the human bulldozer crossed the whitewash in Fiji’s historic 21-14 win over France five years ago, and he can be impossible to stop when he gets going.

Having been drawn into the friendliest-looking Rugby World Cup group of them all, the Flying Fijians have a golden chance of making it to the knockouts for the first time since 2007, so they'll want to squeeze everything they can out of this meeting with one of the world's top teams. 

Here's how to watch a free France vs Fiji live stream today, wherever you are.
