France Rugby Union Tour of New Zealand 2025 – Fixtures, Results & Highlights

France’s 2025 rugby tour of New Zealand has all the makings of a classic. It’s not just another series — it’s a clash of rugby cultures, philosophies, and generations. Les Bleus have brought a young, hungry squad into the heart of All Blacks territory, and so far, they’ve shown courage that stats alone won’t capture.

This is more than just a summer tour. It’s a proving ground for the next wave of international stars. This tour isn’t just another mark on the calendar — it’s a real test of grit. With the 2027 Rugby World Cup coming into focus, both France and New Zealand are using this series to see who’s got the edge when it counts.

Let’s walk through the key moments, match info, and the bigger story behind the scoreboard.

France Tour of New Zealand 2025 – Quick Overview

  • Series Format: 3-Test Series

  • Dates: July 5, 12 & 19, 2025

  • Stadiums: Forsyth Barr (Dunedin), Sky Stadium (Wellington), FMG Stadium (Hamilton)

  • France Head Coach: Fabien Galthié

  • New Zealand Head Coach: Scott Robertson

  • Trophy Contested: Dave Gallaher Trophy

This is Galthié’s first tour of New Zealand as head coach, and he’s made a bold call — traveling without many of his biggest names. No Dupont. No Alldritt. No Ntamack. Instead, he’s betting on fresh legs, fearless attitude, and long-term gain.

Squad Breakdown – Experience vs Opportunity

France Squad

France didn’t bring their stars, but they did bring potential. Players like:

Joris Segonds (Fly-half)

Tyler Duguid (Lock)

Paul Mallez (Prop)

Jules Favre (Centre)

This is a squad built for experience. Not to dominate now — but to learn, survive, and grow into future leaders. Galthié clearly sees this tour as a bridge to 2027, not a short-term result grab.

New Zealand Squad

Razor Robertson didn’t mess around. He picked a side built to win now — front-row firepower, backline brilliance, and just enough fresh blood to keep things sharp:

Will Jordan (electric as ever)

Jordie Barrett (rock-solid at 12)

Ardie Savea (the emotional engine)

Beauden Barrett (injured after Game 1)

There’s a renewed edge to this All Blacks side under Robertson — less chaotic, more clinical. The Dunedin win was far from perfect, but the direction looks clear.

Final Thoughts

This isn’t just another international tour. It’s a glimpse of where two rugby giants are headed.

France may be playing with youth, but they’re not playing it safe. They’re challenging one of the most successful teams in history on their home turf — and showing they belong.

New Zealand, on the other hand, looks like they’re sharpening their blades again under Razor Robertson. They’ve got their swagger back, but it’s not just flash — it’s structured, smart, and starting to look dangerous.

Whatever happens in the next two Tests, this series is shaping up to be a genuine Test rugby story — not just about the scoreboard, but about what’s being built for tomorrow.
