[QUOTE="Surefire, post: 449364, member: 48222"] I will:D Dismissing the desire of the French team to win is arrogance, even with the disclaimer that it is not [I]being said in arrogance. [/I]However that seems to be the theme with the NZ public since the French team has been announced. If the ABs win it is because they played better, have quality players throughout and deserved to win. Not b/c the French gave up on winning this game. I am not a fan of the Parra decision, but as some posters have stated, who else is there? Also which "A" side players are they resting? This unpredictable gamble might be what can win us the match or as you predict get "thumped by 30". Either way we will see and I will be one of the first to either congratulate you & the ABs on their victory or.........well you did say mark your words. [/QUOTE]
