Opinion

The All Blacks advanced to their third Rugby World Cup final on Sunday night after defeating the Wallabies 20-6 at Eden Park.

The win sets up a re-match of the 1987 final which was the last time the All Blacks won the World Cup.

France have failed to shine in the World Cup after suffering a shock defeat to Tonga in pool play before beating a poor England side in the quarter-finals and a 14-man Wales in Saturday's semifinal.

But they also have a history of pulling off an upset against the All Blacks on the biggest stage in world rugby.

Do France pose any threat to the All Blacks in the final?
