Can France win New Zealand?

Answer 1

Answer 2

no way

Answer 3

Are you trying to start a new revolution?

Answer 4

Of Course they can...New Zealand haven't had any tough matches..and will be terribly undercooked. Their form is dropping off...but the expectation surrounding them is still massive...putting massive pressure on them not to choke..

France are going to be tough customers who are peaking at the right time. They have the perfect game to upset new zealand...and will have the support of 3 million "village idiots"....

I suspect even die hard new zealanders can sense the imminent choke on the weekend, and this is why they are getting tetchy.

Answer 5

Absolutely France can win.  That saying "On any given day" is always true.  No one can say they will or wont win though and only an idiot would try.

NZ's form is far from "dropping off" with only 5 loses in 4 years.  France are also FAR from "peaking" with a loss to Argentina where they played HORRIBLE, only 2 tries against an absolutely pathetic Irish team and 2 hardly outstanding wins over minnow's.

I doubt they can rely on the villagers support either.  NZ had a ton of support in Cardiff when they played against Wales, so I doubt it will be different when they play France.  Add to that the NZ supporters bought tickets for this match months ago knowing NZ would be there, while the French expected to be playing in France.

Yes France have a chance, they always do but it's because of their skill and ability... not because of the misinformed ramblings that are being clutched to with more hope than belief.
