[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 638967, member: 57076"] well I can't speak for the rest of the world, although I do understand other nations have a sort of hate for them and pure rivalry rather than admiration - but I can tell you in France they're highly respected, too much even - to the point where I want to tell some people "hey, come on now, they're great but we can beat them, quit it ! - and downright loved. Even when we got ridiculed at home, Aussies in Paris 2010, all I could read on the french forums was "we played like shhit but my goodness they were magnificent", "that's what real Rugby is", "absolutely gorgeous tries from the Aussies"...etc... There isn't that rivalry side in France at all, we feel like we're playing gods every time and the respect is absolutely enormous - and along with the 2010 Aussie example, this goes to show just how much the French people adore, worship running Rugby and flair.
