France will bottle it again. Always do
alistair Cāest vrai ļø I also saw France exceed their talent in 2007, when they beat NZ in the quarter final, then ran out of puff against England in the semi.
I think this French team is sturdier.
Iāll happily be proved wrong. As an England fan, I have zero expectation, so am just looking forward to a bunch of good games over the next month.
Heading over for the Ire vs Scotland and South Africa matches, will also prob head the ¼ final and watch Ireland come home early again.
Heno I think youāll beat Scotland, but I think South Africa might be too much for you. Theyāve looked awesome in their last couple of outings.
I think your quarter final is going to be New Zealand, who have got a long time to recover from their big group game tonight, and I think you guys might be knackered after an incredibly tough groupā¦
Yep, we are sub par.

Funny to see Macron get roundly booed in Paris. Genuine loathing
alistair yeah they hate him!
Good game last night NZ were good up till halfway into the second half then France put it on them, Franceās defence at times wasnāt great but they got really good turnovers at key points and took the wind out of NZ, if the heat keeps up itās going to have a massive impact on teams.
What has rugby become? The guy has jumped into Tom Curry. How is he supposed to react?
The laws of the game have become harsh, intrusive and overbearing.
