Despite missing many of its biggest names after head coach Fabien Galthié named 20 debutants in his squad, France nearly caused an upset in Dunedin last weekend. The All Blacks held on to win 31-27, but they’ll know they’re in for a contest in this second Test. Read on to find out how to watch New Zealand v France, with all the information you need on live streams and TV broadcasts wherever you are.

Watch the All Blacks v France in the UK

Sky Sports has the rights to the second New Zealand v France Test in the UK, and they’ll be showing the match on both Sky Sports Action and Sky Sports Main Event. Kick-off is at 8.05am BST this morning, so this will be a good one to watch over breakfast. You can then stick around to watch the British & Irish Lions taking on the Australia/New Zealand invitational XV.

Sky Sports subscribers can watch the game via the Sky Go app for desktop, iOS, Android, PlayStation and Xbox. Visit the Sky website for more information.

If you’d rather avoid a longer contract (or just want to watch specific games), Now Sports offers daily (£14.99) and monthly (currently starting from £26 if you sign up for six months) memberships.

Travelling overseas this weekend? A VPN can help you watch your usual New Zealand v France live stream as if you were back at home. Find out how below.

How to watch the match from wherever you are

Away from home this morning? That’s where a VPN (or Virtual Private Network) can come to the rescue.

Almost all streaming platforms have geo-restrictions, which means they’ll only work in a certain country. A VPN, however, provides a simple and safe way around this by re-routing your online traffic via remote servers. This means you can effectively alter your device’s location and unlock your usual streaming services from anywhere in the world.

Our tech-savvy colleagues at TechRadar know a thing or two about VPNs and rate NordVPN as the best on the market. Luckily, there’s currently an amazing deal you can take advantage of.

Exclusive offer: 70% off NordVPN, extra 4 months FREE, plus an Amazon voucher
As if 70% off two-year NordVPN plans wasn’t enough, Rugby World readers can currently enjoy an extra four months of the service for free. You’ll also get up to £50/$50 worth of Amazon gift cards. Simply follow this link, sign up to the two-year plan of your choice, and you’ll be sent your Amazon voucher via email once you’ve reached the end of your 30-day trial period.
