Who is going to win this Saturday? I think it's 50-50, but am hoping that France choke. What do you think?

BRAG - I've got tickets to the Final!!!!

Hehe...being half-French half-English, I don't care...whatever happens Saturday, WE WIN! ;-P

Depends on how you look at it, is the glass half full or half empty?

Personally, it would be nice to see France win, but I will have to listem to them go on about it for the next century, a French colleague has already stared hanging jerseys around my cublicle...the swine!

half-French half-English

I'm sorry to hear that. At least you dont have any American in you.... that would be a disaster.

winning or loosing has nothing to do with a glass of water... if you didnt win then you loose, HA-HA!! to bad for you.

hahahaha just kidding

**SergeyLisin** · 10-11-2007, 06:38 AM

Obviously want England to win but I think to beat France at home is too tall an order.

If we play like we did against the Aussies then we have a great chance because the French RU teams tend to lose their discipline when their forwards get rattled and I think we so the actual capability of the English forwards for the first time last week.

But if we allow the French to run at us.............

**Rithlilky** · 10-11-2007, 07:20 AM

A re-run of Crecy or Agincourt would be good :-)

**u2ZQGC6b** · 10-11-2007, 08:05 AM

We seem to be forgetting the most important factor... This is France's terratory and they will support their team till the end!! Personaly I want a England - South Africa finals... (Bring on the re-match

)

And why would that be??

Our Kiwi moderators have not shown up in awhile... I'm worried that they'll start arbitrarily banning people who talk about rugby. The rage that will be unleashed will not be pretty.

The kiwi Rugby team did not turn up against France - must be a national characteristic

Hehe...that is one downside to France winning...I'd have to constantly remind everyone (KWF peeps included) that we won. I wonder if my sensei would notice if I swapped the shinzen for a French flag...

The glass is 50% too big.

Of course France will win ! We won 5 out of the 6 last matches. My worries are not about the result, but about the mediatic/politic use that's being made of it. On French tv (TF1 for those who know, which goes along quite well with our short president), the first image shown after the first try against NZ was our president. Not a very subtle association, more liminal than subliminal, but efficient nonetheless.

Let's not spoil the fun, beating the english is always the best part of sport

We never get beaten but we sometimes let other teams win
