Buros to start against New Zealand
On Saturday, Buros will make his debut for France against the All Blacks in the first Test of the three-match series. He will replace Melvyn Jaminet at fullback, who is injured. Buros will have a tough task against one of the best teams in the world, but he will be hoping to make a positive impression and help France to a victory.
Analysis of Buros' selection
Buros' selection is a sign of the faith that France coach Fabien Galthie has in the young fullback. Buros has only played a handful of games for France but he has impressed Galthie with his performances. He is a dangerous attacker and a solid defender, and he has the potential to be a key player for France in the years to come.
