[QUOTE="ZeFrenchy, post: 461251, member: 47244"] That's my view. I changed 13, 11, 10, 9, 8 and 2 from yours. I also inverted Whitelock and Thorn, to compare TH locks and LH locks. On those lineups the only frenchman I'd choose man by man is Servat over Mealamu. I'd also have Domingo (such a big loss he was) or Barcella over Woodcock. Also, on the McCaw vs. Bonnaire and Kaino vs. Dusautoir issue, I think you should compare backrow units as a whole, as the french backrowers are not really specialized in their roles in open play. I'd take the NZ ones. I think that NZ will win this. If France wins, we will be remembered as the most undeserving champions in WC history, and that would not be good for rugby. On the other hand, if France plays an epic game (as we all secretly, or not so secretly, hope), it would give the impression that teams like Tonga and Italy [I]could[/I] actually fight for the ***le... I don't think that would be bad for the image of rugby. Anyway, just wishful thinking. [/QUOTE]
