The All Blacks geared up for next weekend's Test match against France by hitting a gym in Paris on Monday.

Flanker Jerome Kaino, lock Patrick Tuipulotu and hooker Codie Taylor were seen lifting weights, as were props Nepo Laulala and Jeffery Toomaga-Allen.

Captain Kieran Read also took part in the session, along with star centre Sonny Bill Williams, who wore a Manchester United training shirt.

Williams and Co were in Paris preparing for Saturday's Test with France at the Stade de France

The All Blacks stars were all allowed to wear their own clothes as they used the facilities at the Stade Jean-Bouin.

Williams stood out as he donned United's 2017/18 pre-match home shirt.

The 32-year-old was lined up for a move closer to his favourite football club earlier this year but Sale Sharks failed with their audacious bid.

New Zealand beat the Barbarians 31-22 at Twickenham last weekend and now face a two-match series with France, before returning to the UK to play Scotland and Wales.

The All Blacks fielded a mix-and-match team against the Baa-Baas but are likely to be at full strength at the Stade de France on Saturday night.
