Answer 4

1987 All Blacks beat France 29 - 9

1999 Australia beat France 35–12.

Answer 5

France have twice appeared in the final of the Rugby World Cup.

On 20 June 1987 they lost 29-9 to New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland

On 6 November 1999 they lost 35-12 to Australia at the National Stadium in Cardiff

France have the distinction of being the only country to have appeared in the final of the Rugby World Cup, but to never emerge as winners.
