WATCH Live France Vs Japan Rugby Cup 2011Watch Live Online New Zealand Vs Tonga Rugby World Cup
Hi Rugby Lovers......... Pool A looks the most predictable with the All Blacks and France heavily favoured to progress to the knockout phase. Les Bleus however are anything but predictable and if ever you wanted to strike them in a World Cup,their first match would be it. The French of course were made to look like lame possums in the opening match of the 2007 tournament when Argentina shocked the rugby world on opening night 17-12 win in Paris. Now France, the fourth ranked team in the world and one of the five nations with a genuine chance to win the World Cup come October 23, open their campaign in the North Shore backdrop of Albany and will come up against a Japan side. The John Kirwan coached side has improved admirably over the past 12 months and won their first ever Pacific Nations Cup in July but against a side who have a technically drilled and astute pack, they really are on a hiding to nothing.
