France suffered their first ever loss in the pool stages of the world cup.

In the opening game of the 2007 Rugby World Cup the hosts have been beaten 17-12. If the rest of the results in their group go against them France could be out of the world cup, or may have to face New Zealand in Cardiff. If France end up as runners up and New Zealand win their group then the two will meet in the Quarter finals, which despite this being France 2007 will be held in Cardiff.

Personally I’d like to see a France vs New Zealand quarter final.
