But the point is that it is a squad game now. France can't rely on one player to go on and win their home World Cup. That is my point. If DuPont makes it back later he makes it but it shouldn't distract that this is a team game and it's ultimately about who steps up in his place.Your confusing two totally different teams. NZ did nearly bottle the final and France raised their game.
I think my original point is that outside of DC that NZ team still had players that were not just the best of their time but you could make an argument are amongst very best we have ever seen
You can't say that for anyone in this French side barring Du Pont
I would say France were favourites before this RWC but these are the sorts of twists and turns that happen that they have to overcome if they are ultimately to prevail.
