[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 418366, member: 43875"] Interestingly it may be that france field a B side against the AB's in the pool stage if they secure a quaterfinal spot before then. This will be a disaster for the All Blacks if it happens. Scotland fielded a B team in the same scenario at the last world cup and it meant that the All Blacks went into the quaterfinal against france without being tested at all. It's hard to improve against poor oposition or prepare for must win games against strong teams by playing weak teams. It was surely a factor in the AB's early exit last time around. [/QUOTE]
