New Zealand and France kick off the second round at the Rugby League World Cup tonight in Avignon with the locals aiming to continue a run of shock results at the tournament.
France suffered an embarrassing loss to the United States in a warmup match, but they bounced back to beat Papua New Guinea 9-8 in the opening game of the tournament proper, and they'll be playing in front of a capacity crowd of 17-thousand tomorrow morning.
After this match all 24 players in the Kiwis squad wil have played a game, apart from Thomas Leuluai who is still nursing a groin strain.
