Rugby-World-France and England out to grab second chance: "When France lost the tournament's opening game to Argentina and England were hammered 36-0 by South Africa both were condemned to daunting quarter-finals against New Zealand and Australia respectively."
The Stade de France will be hotting up, the atmosphere will be electric and France will be holding its breath. Last time when England won by that magical goal it was breathtaking but so gut wrenching for the French. When they win the Hexagone just takes off for days . The French are beside themselves heartfelt with joy. At this stage the French are very modest, steady and serious about their skills base. They actually have some lovely players with great personalities , but I would say this has been a feature in many of the teams. Rugby players just seem like nice guys , most of them...and then you have the ones who really let the team down. I don't know how many of us will be up and at it at 5am tomorrow to watch this semi final...but a lot of the French will have their eyes on Chabal. He's a bit of a legend really...and then Monday it's South Africa versus Argentina. It would be good fro France to come back and meet Argentina in the final....but England were hammered by South Africa, maybe they'd like a second chance against them. It'll be good. The rugby has been good even though I don't follow it much.
