For their first autumn Test, France take on Japan on Saturday 9th November at the Stade de France.
France have a huge clash against the All Blacks and a tough test against a tricky Argentina side this autumn. For that, a victory against Japan will put them in good stead for rougher challenges.
The incredible Antoine Dupont returns to the national side for the first time since the 2023 World Cup. The scrum-half missed the Six Nations in order to prepare for the Paris Olympics, where he won gold in sevens rugby.
Fabien Galthié has added eight uncapped players to the squad, and there could be plenty of chances for new faces to make their impact against Japan.
Japan have already opened their autumn series, losing heavily to New Zealand, but before that had won three of their last four games in the Pacific Nations Cup.

France v Japan key player to watch
Émilien Gailleton (France)
Young centre Émilien Gailleton is expected to line up in the midfield, likely alongside Gaël Fickou, and will be looking to make a huge impression to keep himself in with a chance of playing against New Zealand and Argentina. The Pau centre, who was born in Croydon, has been scoring for fun in the Top 14 for a few seasons now.
France v Japan prediction
Japan, as they always try to, will put up a fight and no doubt impress in parts, but France are overwhelmingly a stronger and better side. There is only one way this should end, and it is an emphatic victory for France in Paris.
Prediction: FRANCE WIN
