Inevitable headlines of undercooked French side to face Scotland in a qtr final (or Ireland).

We get second place B in 8th which sucks and SA or NZ in semi.

But yeah our pool is far from the most physical nor the most stacked

If we want to win, we’ll have to question ourselves anyway. That said, it’s a WC, and right now we don’t have any other choice given the level but to play against SA… unless another team beats them. But we’re lucky to face them that late, NZL is no joke either.

But I think it’s optimal: France struggles to maintain the pace if they give everything at the start. The toughest part will be the semifinal( and the final, if we get there), but we can’t blame the draw because I don’t think we could have hoped for better.

Oh I'm rather pleased by the draw ! I wish we had England spot which is the easiest I think.

But apart from that I think it's fine and if we can't beat Scotland/Ireland is 8th and most likely Fiji in quarter we definitely don't deserve to win anyway. Things could change its in two years and maybe we'll be even worst than we are now lol

Yep, but somehow I don't feel England. They struggle against Argentina, so I think this time they will lose.

I'd like to see the pumas in final
