The big news for France is the return of Romain Ntamack, while Matthieu Jalibert shifts to full-back as the two players start in the same team for the first time.

London-born former rugby sevens star Aaron Grandidier Nkanang will make his France debut on the wing while Brisbane-born prop Moses Alo-Emile will make his first start.

Florian Verhaeghe and Emmanuel Meafou are the new second row combination, while Lenni Nouchi starts at six.

France: Matthieu Jalibert; Theo Attissogbe; Fabien Brau-Boirie, Yoram Moefana; Aaron Grandidier-Nkanang; Romain Ntamack, Maxime Lucu; Moses Alo-Emile, Peato Mauvaka, Demba Bamba; Florian Veraeghe, Emmanuel Meafou; Lenni Nouchi, Oscar Jegou, Marko Gazzotti.

Replacements: Maxime Lamothe, Jefferson Poirot, Tevita Tatafu, Hugo Auradou, Tom Staniforth, Killian Tixeront, Nolann le Garrec, Kalvin Gourgues.

Joe Schmidt has named a settled team to take on France with just two changes to the starting XV.

Carter Gordon and Ben Donaldson are both injured, so there's a Test debut for Declan Meredith at fly-half.

In the only other change from the defeat by Ireland, Tom Wright comes in at full-back and the versatile Jock Campbell drops to the bench.

Australia: Tom Wright; Max Jorgensen; Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, Len Ikitau; Dylan Pietsch; Declan Meredith, Ryan Lonergan; Angus Bell, Josh Nasser, Allan Alaalatoa; Josh Canham, Jeremy Williams; Rob Valetini, Fraser McReight, Harry Wilson.

Replacements: Brandon Paenga-Amosa, James Slipper, Taniela Tupou, Lachlan Shaw, Nick Champion de Despigny, Tate McDermott, Jock Campbell, Filipo Daugunu.

Here's a look at how things stand in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere tables.

Last week, replacement Australia fly-half Ben Donaldson missed a last-gasp penalty as Ireland claimed a comeback bonus-point win in an enthralling Nations Championship contest in Sydney.

With the clock in the red, Donaldson kicked his long-range penalty to the right of the posts as the Wallabies were denied a first success over the Irish since 2018.

A 77th-minute try from replacement prop Tom Clarkson proved decisive for the visitors, who carved out a hard-fought victory despite operating nowhere near their maximum.

Joe Schmidt's Australia led by five points at the break after tries from Dylan Pietsch, Jock Campbell, Josh Canham and Ryan Lonergan in an energetic first-half display.

Cian Prendergast, Josh van der Flier and Jamison Gibson-Park crossed for the Irish in the opening 40 minutes, with Hugo Keenan delivering the bonus-point before Tate McDermott hit back for the Wallabies.

Ireland were denied a fifth try when Dan Sheehan's effort was ruled out following a television match official (TMO) review with 20 minutes left, but Clarkson popped up to score his second international try and ultimately seal a dramatic triumph for Andy Farrell's side.

Will Jordan scored twice to help New Zealand beat France as the inaugural Nations Championship opened with a captivating, nine-try thriller in Christchurch.

Prolific wing Jordan struck in the seventh and 71st minute to hand new All Blacks boss Dave Rennie a winning start and move within two of Doug Howlett's record 49 tries for New Zealand (which he's now beaten thanks to his hat-trick against Italy this morning).

Peter Lakai and outstanding scrum-half Cam Roigard (2) were also on target in the southern hemisphere giants' bonus-point win.

Six Nations champions France, however, fell short of a rare win on New Zealand soil despite tries from Damian Penaud, Antoine Hastoy, Theo Attissogbe and Matthieu Jalibert.

France, without star names Antoine Dupont and Louis Bielle-Biarrey, also had a second-half try ruled out for a knock-on from Max Spring before Fabien Brau-Boirie touched down.

Here's a reminder about what happened last week.

The Nations Championship pits the northern hemisphere teams who compete in the Six Nations - England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy - against southern hemisphere giants South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina, plus invited sides Fiji and Japan.

The geographically observant will note that Japan is actually about 2,500 miles north of the equator, so doesn't sit in the southern hemisphere. But the sport is rolling with it, somewhat in the spirit of Australia's participation in Eurovision.

All teams will play each of the six in the opposing hemisphere once, with three rounds of fixtures staged in July and another three in November.

Their results will rank the teams within their own hemisphere, from one to six.

On the final weekend in November, there is a three-day play-off event staged at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham. The sixth-placed team in the northern hemisphere plays off against the equivalent in the southern hemisphere standings and so on, culminating in the two top-ranked sides taking each other on. The winner of that final match is crowned the inaugural Nations Championship winner.

However, there is also a parallel, Ryder-Cup style hemisphere title. The winner of each of the matches on the play-offs weekend will earn one point for their hemisphere, except for the contest between the two top-ranked teams which delivers two.

The first hemisphere to earn four points over the weekend will be crowned winners.

The first game of the day in the Nations Championship has just finished, and it's two wins from two for the All Blacks.

New Zealand have hammered 14-man Italy 47-17 in Wellington as Will Jordan becomes the top try scorer in the history of the All Blacks.

The wing scored a hat-trick to surpass Doug Howlett, and Jordan now has 50 tries to his name.

Despite showing so much promise in the Six Nations, it's not been a good start to the Nations Championship for Italy after their loss in Japan last week and look set to be without Niccolo Cannone after his red card for a reckless clear-out with 30 minutes left.
