New Zealand center Anton Lienert-Brown described France scrumhalf Antoine Dupont as a "freakish player" ahead of the teams' clash in Paris on Saturday.
Olympic sevens champion Dupont, who turns 28 on Friday, returned to Les Bleus' 15-a-side team for the first time in more than a year in last weekend's win over Japan.
The scrumhalf provided two assists having also starred in his first club game in October, scoring a nine-minute hat-trick.
