New Zealand knocked out Australia this morning, setting themselves up for a mouth watering final with France. Many people are saying that France will be totally humiliated and crushed, but I couldn't disagree more. France are New Zealand's bete noire. They have beaten them twice in previous World Cups, and even though the All Blacks have already beaten France in this tournament, I'm pretty sure both teams would have forgotten about it.
I would like to see France win, even though I know that the vast majority of people would like to see the All Blacks triumph. France are being hailed as the worst team ever to have made a World Cup final, but that's not true. England in 2007 were just as bad as the France of 2011.
There third place final will therefore be between Australia and Wales, and for me, Australia win hands down. Warburton is suspended and he is arguably Wales' best player, and the team will be pretty down after going out the way that they did. Even though Australia haven't been brilliant, I rethink they'll have enough to see off a depleted Wales.
