WOW! Are you sure he is French?
Are you sure he is Human!
Chabal dosn't look like your usual elegant coffee sipping Frenchman. And these Rugby hits are made with no pads or helmets remember. Masoe did well to stagger away.
Is anyone watching the Rugby Sevens tounament being held in Edinburgh?

Kiwi, after watching New Zealand thrash France in two test's and seeing South Africa do the same to England (even though France and England had extremely weakened squads), I think we can safely say NZ and SA are by far the two faveourites to win the Rugby World Cup in September. Australia might have beaten Wales comfortably in the 2nd test but Wales really should've beaten Wales in the 1st test. I feel France, England, Australia, Ireland and even Argentina are all around the same level at the moment but NZ and SA are just a cut above the rest. What do you think?

Yeah I would have to agree with you on that, Australia have looked very average over the last few weeks. For the world cup, I think there are only 3 teams which can possibly win: NZ, France and South Africa. I would put Australia in that category but they really have played badly recently.

NZ are my favourites for the cup because we have had the best team in the world since '05 and have performed consistently throughout. South Africa have the talent to win, but I don't know if they have the mental edge. They are almost impossible to beat at home but they seem to fall apart as soon as they leave Africa. As for France, on their day they have the ability to beat any team in the world. No New Zealander will EVER write them off after what happened in 1999
