Question

I know France caused an upset against the All Blacks in 1999, but can they really do it again in Cardiff?

Answer 1

No, I highly doubt it. The ABs won't underestimate them and I do not really think the French are NZs bogey team anymore, they arn't scared of them like they used to be. Its Aussie they are more scared of.

Answer 2

AB's are too self-confident.

Aussies too. Swing low, sweet chariot....

The ideals semi-finals : England-France and Fiji-Argentina....

Answer 3

DUDE IM A LEICESTER TIGERRR FAN!!! how weird is that?

Answer 4

It's difficult, as thi French team is just not as solid as the one back then. Having said that, France are the Kiwi's bugbear team, and if anyone's going to upset their path to the final, France has as good a chance as any...

Answer 5

Well I was neutral until today!

But every question seems to be the AB's in the semi's.........WTF?

they have to win the quarters 1st!!!!!!

Okay, we all know the AB's are awesome at the moment and are the HUGE favourites to win the RWC, but FFS...........on the day who knows?

have the AB's been really tested so far?.........NO!

The french have fecked them up before, and okay, they are playing in Cardiff rather than in France, but they did it at Twickers and the Millennium Stadium is far more superior than ttwickers and the french like playing there!

The roof will be closed, there will be far more French than NZ supporters and my bet is, the neutrals will be on the French side, so yes, they can upset the AB's!

Go France, goooooooooooooooooo!

Answer 6

The Abs are amking sure they send the message that they are the team to beat,

they named their top team for this match which means they are in no way going to make the mistake they made 8 years ago, new zealand are just too strong at the moment,

they entered every world cup as 1 of the favourites but this year they are in the best form since they last one it and don't look likely to falter much at all let alone in the Q/F, they're well prepared and really...........

france don't stand a chance.

Answer 7

i was there last time and think they can do it again, they are unpredictable and may have some great game plan and do totally the unexpected and catch new zealand off guard, whatever it will be a good game and the best team on the day will win, I will be there supporting the french the kiwis were big sourpuss's in 1999 for the final everyone was there having fun, except all the Australian, the south African stayed as did most nationalities, was easy for the french to buy tickets LOL

Thanks for the thumbs down, was there at the stadium magnificent to watch, lots of sad all blacks doing the long miserable trek on good one france allez les blues

Answer 8

of course noooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnn

Answer 9

Unlikely but anything is possible.

Answer 10

of course they can.... in fact they did.

Answer 11

New Zealand will win by 25 to 30 clear points.

Answer 12

I would love to see a close, entertaining game of rugby 2moro nite, but let's be honest.... 2moro will be a very Black day for French rugby!

Answer 13

I expect !! I'm French and I hope they will do the same than in 1999 !! Go on France !!

Answer 14

it has been done,new zealand thot they were gonna win the cup,,,,and forgot the challenges from other teams,too pompous.They shld really improve with their baggage of gud players who are useless on the world cup scene.

Answer 15

France don't even know what jerseys they are going to wear so how are they going to win a game ?????

8 hours to kick off 9 1/2 hours to french departure!

Answer 16

They are the Kiwis bogey team and everyone watching the game who isn't from New Zealand will be cheering them on!

It will feel like a home game for them and with the crowd behind them they can win!

Answer 17

I really hope not...I like upsets but not the ones involving the All Blacks losing..lol!  I really hope it is an exciting game though, cant wait to see Chabal he is a beast =D Good luck to France and the All Blacks =)

Go the All Blacks =)
