I really hope the French win, I really do, but doubt they will. I always liked NZ up until the last world cup - I was at university with David Kirk the year after he lifted the inaugural world cup (yeah, name-dropper, I know) - but their histrionics in 2007 showed them up as a bunch of unbelievable whiners and whingers.
They bang on about that forward pass and no one pulls them up on two decisions they got: a) they should have been reduced to 14 men after a stone-cold assault on Serge Betson, inside five minutes, which led to him being subbed (Did he whine? Did he fuck?); b) McAlister's try came after an obvious forward pass, that just happened to come earlier in the move.
I'd love France to do them again, this time in front of their own fans...
