Final is on sunday, not on saturday
Yes, it sounds possible. Would be great if France could join the restricted club of the northern countries having won a WC, that would make two members… On the other end it would be cool for the kiwis to win in their own country.
All in all, I am just looking forward to a good game with teams trying to do something and not just scoring drops and put everything in defence from then on...

that´s very true!!
GB!
pas mal de fenchies sont installés sur NY! et les bistros-restos qui vont avec! renseigne toi!
putain, on a pratiquement aucune chance!
mais je sais pas pourquoi, j´y crois à mort!
on a un pack!@redchris:Great final in prospect.
France will have to produce something special, play a lot better than yesterday.
They actually played better without the ball, which is probably not a bad thing against the All Blacks

What would happen if the opposition turns their back during the haka showing no respect what so ever.
I think you just answered your own question. It's just disrespectful.
I reckon the french boys should respond with a hearty can-can.
M. Bougard…what an incredible imagination you have! You should ask what the odds are that it happens EXACTLY as you've just said...
I personally see it more like this:
Whistle signals kick-off....the ABs run straight up-field and score a fabulous try...the french (as they have been known to do) roll over and surrender allowing the All blacks to rack up a world record total without reply (110 - 0). Game over.
I wonder which of us will be proven correct? Having spent 6 months in NZ, and knowing how much rugby means to them (like the welsh) I have to say I hope the ABs come out on top. Would love it if the french turn it on though and give them a run for their money.
All in all, an exciting final in prospect...Over to you M. Bougard;) -

wrong thread, mate, this is a RUGBY thread, not a soccer one!!! Rugby is a very clean sport played by gentlemen, who shake hands after the game, fight once in a while but never ever ever behave like hoodlums or gangsters or divas (hint hint), they never dive, never fake, never ever ever dispute the referee's decisions (however unfair like last week), man, dont you wish soccer was as clean as Rugby? And dissing the haka is not even an option. It's too beautiful anyway, and Rugby is about beauty (yes, beauty!), grace (did I say grace? I freaking did!), brains, and guts, and strength, of course. It is also about love. Yes love: how can one human put himself through so much pressure and sometimes pain for the sake of his team if he does not have love for his team mates? Dont get me wrong, and dont misinterpret this, it's the love that makes you reach higher heights so your buddy can score a try. Positive energy, ego stays at home.

Didn't think it disrespectful, but Les Bleus made a good fist of staring down the Haka at the last WC.
I recall a certain Mr. Chagall looking particularly terrifying.
Did you not mean Sébastien Chabal?
Chagall was a painter… Chabal is the beardy guy. Not in the WC this year because although a very good player it never really worked out in the national team when he was playing.
