New Zealand will aim to continue on winning ways and reclaim the Dave Gallaher trophy when they take on France in a highly anticipated second-Test cracker on Saturday. The All Blacks scraped to a narrow victory over the Blues in the first Test. Can they secure a second straight victory against the reigning Six Nations champions? Here is our prediction for the match.
New Zealand will be brimming with confidence heading into this match. Scott Robertson’s side ended their three-match losing streak against France in the first Test, defeating the European champions 31-27 in Dunedin. A dominant first-half performance was enough to secure victory for the hosts despite losing the second half by four points.
Notably, the win in Dunedin saw the team rack up a seventh test win in their last eight matches. They have also won six of their last seven home matches.
France's three-match winning streak came to an end following the first Test defeat in Dunedin. The Blues, ranked two places below their Pacific hosts, will aim to avenge that loss on Saturday.
They boast a dominant record against New Zealand, winning three of their last four matches and have kept their losses on the road within respectable margins. Hence, our tip for the spread.

Our New Zealand vs France Prediction
New Zealand, ranked two places above their French opponents and playing at home, are considered favourites to win this match. However, France are no pushovers heading into this tie. The reigning European champions demonstrated their fighting spirit in the first Test and are likely to put up another strong performance on Saturday.
Also, they have won three of their last four matches against New Zealand and have kept their defeats on the road within respectable margins since 2021. Given these indicators, our New Zealand vs France prediction is France +17.5 handicap points.
