A shock to confirm. The France team has an appointment with England for its second group match of the Rugby World Cup, Saturday October 15, at the Semenoff Stadium in Whangarei. A week after having ideally launched their competition with a clear victory against South Africa (40-5), the Blue want to continue with a new success in New Zealand.
But facing them stands the English steamroller, engaged in an impressive series of 26 straight victories, the latest against the Fijians (84-19) for their entry into the running at the World Cup. An opponent who acts as a pet peeve for the French, beaten in the last ten duels between the two selections.
