Weekend Black Out. Five Teams. One Legacy.
This weekend brings a Black Out as five teams pull on the iconic black jersey. And it all kicks off with the team namings.
For the All Blacks, it’s the first clash of the Lipovitan-D July Series against France. Four debutants are ready to make their mark in Dunedin, two of them doing it on home soil.
“Facing France is always special; they bring intensity, flair, and physicality. As a group we have had a fantastic ten days together, preparing for the three-test series ahead of us. We are ready for the challenge and what better place to kick it off than under the roof in Dunedin, in front of a packed home crowd," All Blacks Head Coach Scott Robertson said.

Beyond the All Blacks, rising stars in the New Zealand U20, unstoppable wāhine in the Black Ferns and Black Ferns XV, to the fierce Māori All Blacks hit the field.
