New Zealand's record as the only country never to be beaten in 31 pool games at the Rugby World Cup will be on the line when they meet host France tomorrow morning in Paris.

The All Blacks have played the most games at the Rugby World Cup, with 57, and a win in Paris would see them become the first side to win 50 World Cup contests.

All Blacks lock Sam Whitelock will be challenging the record for most World Cup games. The Test will be his 20th, two less than the most capped players, Richie McCaw and Jason Leonard of England.

All Blacks' first five-eighth, Richie Mo'unga, will be playing his 50th Test, and while he is the fourth-highest scorer in Tests for the All Blacks, he has not scored in three Tests against France.

Tighthead prop Nepo Laulala will also play his 50th Test, while No.8 Ardie Savea is the only All Blacks player to have started the five Tests they have played in 2023.

The All Blacks will meet France at 7.15am tomorrow in Paris.
