How do you rate France chances to win the world cup?

Question

This year will most probably see France Rugby team to win the 6 nations tournament but what about their chance to win the world cup in September in France ?

Answer 1

very high, be in the semi's for sure!

They are playing a very good, efficient game at the moment!

Answer 2

France have been lucky in the 6 Nations this year and still have to face England at home. It's not over yet! Remember what happened last year!!!! They shouldn't be too confident in their abilities either since Wales scored 3 tries yesterday and that showed major gaps in their defence. Any of the better sides will exploit that. Remember too that when France aren't playing particularly well, their home support turns against them and boo them off the field. I can see them making the knock out stages but not going too much farther than that!

Answer 3

Historically, the home team always does well. All those dodgy calls go the home team, and rightly so... To everyone who rates New Zealand so high, they've only beaten the Springboks away from home once in three years. And that was this year when we played without many of our top players. Another thing about the all-blacks, all this gyming, and conditioning will result in injuries... I know it sounds paradoxical (because that is why they're doing it in the first place) but I believe if players build extra muscle too quickly, they are more open too stress-related injuries... Muscles performing above the specific persons physical abilities....

Answer 4

Its their home and my rating would be 85 out of 100, sorry gave 15% to Ireland.

Best of Luck and may France defend their 6 nations' title.

I know she will dance if Ireland will win but then again I am no God.

Answer 5

THEY WILL BE IN THE FINAL WITH N .Z,SORRY CHEESEAT ,NO NEED TO SAY ANYMORE.

Answer 6

I strongly believe France is among the top 5 and with the advantage of playing at home I can easily say they will definately get to the final and when it's coming to winning it I can't really confirm because there are always surprises in this kind of competitions.

Thanx!

Answer 7

I have thought they were rising to the world cup since last year, but they have no chance against New Zealand except New Zealand choking (which can happen as evidenced by the last few cups)

Answer 8

I think france is mediocore force in the upcoming world cup unless they find the next zidane. Although they have henry, gallas, viera and trezeguet, but they are all aging. Solve this problem and wal lah!!! The world cup trophy will be back te france.

*Solve= find their replacement. I am a big fan of France.

Answer 9

France are possibly the only team who can beat New Zealand to this title. When the french are good, they are very good, when they are bad (against NZ in the autumn, for example) they are bloody awful. Who knows what to make of them? The talent is there though, and it looks like they will pick up a six nations grand slam on the way (although i'm expecting a big improvement from my england boys against the french), and that won't exactly hurt their confidence.

Answer 10

Second only to NZ .However if you saw the France-NZ autumn games I don't give them (or anyone else) much hope It's N Z 's trophy

Answer 11

you people kip driming  when Italy is there france never win anything.

Answer 12

I believe France Have A Good Chance, They are an Excellent team.

The six nations is quite easy due to (no offence to anyone team here) the fact that the teams in the six nations are not exactly difficult to beat.

They have a good chance as Ireland does, good luck to them.

Answer 13

I think France are coming good just in time. I have a feeling the trophy may be staying in Europe. I would like to see the French teach the cocky New Zealish a lesson.

Answer 14

It pains me to to say it but I think France are Europe's best hope, along with Ireland. The other 6 nations teams are looking pretty poor. France will need to make the most of their home advantage to stop the All Blacks though.

Answer 15

I don't think  that any one will win against France..... this cup is made for France, and this time they are going to win it.......... Definetly YES !

Answer 16

The French are one the three teams i think will win the World Cup. The All Blacks are the definite favorites to win because of their consistent form along with the Irish who have been improving alot. The French are on my list because of the Home Ground Advantage and playing in front of your crowd really raises your morale

Answer 17

I hope France will win the world cup, but no illusion, this year i thing there is no team for win against New Zealand

Answer 18

France are a good team and have been as long as I can remember.  However they don't have the ability to stick at it like other teams. They don't live up to the phrase "never say die". I believe that they will be a strong contender but the all Blacks at the moment do seem unbeatable.

Answer 19

Hmmmm...I'd say zero to none. Who wants the garlice munching, beret wearing shirtlifters to win anyway??!! And I'd say the 6 nations has Ireland's name all over it this year too!

And to the geezer above this is a rugby question quite clearly so what would Zizou and co. have to do with that???

Answer 20

Poor. They are very good at the moment deserve to be in the top 5 nations of the Worls, however they are not a consistent side at the moment, still have problems with discipline and always look as if they could disintergrate at any time.

Faced with the All Blacks, Springboks, Australians, English and Irish Teams any of them can win the cup.

My money is on the ALL BLACKS at the moment.
