[QUOTE="jaunard06, post: 538408, member: 56207"] I have a bad feeling about that game... First we [I]know[/I] we're inconsistent, as said in a previous post this is a fact. Second, Samoa makes me think about Argentina in that most of their players have experience through playing into big championships, some even in Top 14 so they know the french players very well. Also they arrive overconfident following unexpected wins - sorry guys you're a good side but the odds were stil not in your favour for both games. Finally if the rain is confirmed there's another hardened fact: France completely loses control when playing under the rain. Would we play against Wales, England or Ireland we would get "up-and-undered" as if there was no tomorrow and lose control of the ball "a-la-Poitrenaud" :rolleyes: Fortunately Samoa prefers holding the ball so we'll see what will happen, but I rate this match as highly unpredictable.
