The All Blacks are about to wake up and begin their game day preparations for tomorrow morning's Rugby World Cup opener against hosts France in Paris.
Both teams are desperate to win and send a warning to their rivals, with the winner also likely to end up topping Pool A.
Paris is welcoming the rugby world for the opening match, buoyed by the strong form of the French team daring to dream that this might be their chance to lift the William Webb Ellis trophy for the first time.
But the focus for now is on tomorrow and the blockbuster opening match against the All Blacks.
And as rugby reporter Joe Porter reports, there are nerves, excitement and a quiet confidence in the Kiwi camp, despite their recent record hammering at the hands of the Springboks.
