[QUOTE="Canucks, post: 446033, member: 43938"] Absolutely agree with everything you said. I'm citing those performances as France is the Jekyll and Hyde team of rugby. Some days they look like the best in the world, others they lose to Italy. I expect France to win and dominate the open play, scrums and lineouts. Especially the lineouts. That doesn't mean i'm not hoping for an upset and that I don't want Canada go for it. If there was to be an upset for Canada against France, then sunday could be it. Heck, even keeping the score close like we used too would be great. I still expect France to outclass Canada. I disagree on the physical aspect though. While France may not get rattled, being physical is always an asset and Canada is a more physical team. No matter who it is, if they know they are going to get hit, then they are more likely to make a mistake. You could say Ireland faces tough opposition all the time but I assure vs USA there were a few rattled and frustrated Irishmen. [/QUOTE]
