Morgan Parra will start for France in their World Cup quarter‑final clash with the All Blacks on Sunday.

Four years ago Parra started the World Cup final at fly‑half, but lasted just 20 minutes before being forced off after catching an injury to the head from Richie McCaw.

Finally Damien Chouly drops to the bench with Bernard le Roux coming into the back row, where France really struggled against the Irish.

France have not beaten New Zealand since 2009, but came desperately close in the last World Cup final, while eight years ago they stunned the All Blacks at the same ground at the same stage.

The All Blacks will take on France at 7am Sunday.
