France has been very fortunate to make the 2011 Rugby World Cup after faltering in the Group stages before getting over Wales who were minus captain Sam Warburton for most of the game due to an early red card.
The French will find the might of New Zealand a different proposition in the final, although France has put paid to the All Blacks twice previously in the World Cup in 2007 (20-18) and 1999 (43-31) in the knockout stages and that will give them confidence this time around for an unlikely upset.
