New Zealand v France World Cup 2007

Now this question is mostly fopr those from the "home nations" being England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales...

WHO WILL YOU BE SUPPORTING IN THE QUARTER FINAL BETWEEN FRANCE AND THE ALL BLACKS?

This poll is due to a few of my friends that have never travelled assuming that the Brits would support the All Blacks over France. I disagreed saying that it would not be that clear cut as the All Blacks do not have the "love" of the home nations due to thuggary and arrogance of some Kiwi players (and the fact that the AB's usually - but not always - win).

So who will it be and why?
NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A CHOICE OVER THE COUNTRIES -JUST THE RUGBY TEAMS.

If France plays at its best it is a beauty to behold... even if that destroys my team the All Blacks... now if the AB's are doing a bit of thuggery they can lose for all I care.

I am looking forward to this game. I have never seen the All Blacks play in this world cup so I look forward to that. On the other hand France got better and better during the last weeks. Plus they are the hosts of the WC.

I am sure it will be an intense game. Best wishes to both teams, may the better one win.

France. I feel obliged to support the underdog, and a European team.
[or as you tend to term or categorise teams in this sport, one from
the "Northern Hemisphere"] Their home support always seems minimal
or otherwise unenthusiastic to me, and not only in this sport, so perhaps
someone needs to give them a hand.
