New Zealand vs France 3rd Test Tips - Whitewash to be complete with another All Blacks win
New Zealand has secured the series against France but is looking to achieve a 3-0 clean sweep. Despite France's determined performance, particularly in the first test, where they narrowly missed an upset with a 31-27 scoreline, a second-string side was outplayed in the second test, which ended 43-17. Scott Robertson plans to rotate players for New Zealand's last game, while France coach Fabien Galthie is also expected to make numerous changes. France aims to stay within a 20.5-point handicap against the formidable All Blacks.

New Zealand vs France Tips
New Zealand have wrapped up the series and now target a 3-0 clean sweep. I'm backing them to achieve the whitewash, but France can keep it much closer than last week with the All Blacks to win by less than 20.5 points predicted.

Head to Head
New Zealand have won the last two matches in this series.
New Zealand Form
Coming into the third Test of the series, New Zealand have already secured the series win. They will expect nothing less than a 3-0 victory though.
In the first game of the series, France pushed New Zealand all the way. The hosts eventually got over the line 31-27, but there was much criticism as a second-string French side almost pulled off an upset.
Last weekend, Scott Robertson’s charges were far more clinical as they matched the French energy throughout. Early points settled the All Blacks nerves and they went on to win 43-17.
New Zealand Team News
Robertson is expected to make a few changes to the side for this weekend’s encounter. With the series won, he will be looking to give some fringe players a run.
France Form
France will not be disheartened with their tour so far despite losing both games. They will want to end the tour on a positive note though, and this is their final opportunity to do so.
The French were never expected to challenge for the series given how many of their top players stayed at home. They have given many debuts on this tour and will continue to do so.
Fabien Galthie would have been pleased with the performance in the 31-27 first test loss but last week, after making many changes, they couldn’t quite match the same quality as the week before.
France Team News
Galthie made 10 changes last weekend and it would be safe to assume a similar number this weekend.
Verdict
France are backed to stay within 20.5 points of the All Blacks on Saturday.
