This year will most probably see France Rugby team to win the 6 nations tournament but what about their chance to win the world cup in September in France ?

I strongly believe France is among the top 5 and with the advantage of playing at home I can easily say they will definately get to the final and when it's coming to winning it I can't really confirm because there are always surprises in this kind of competitions.
Thanx!

France have been lucky in the 6 Nations this year and still have to face England at home. It's not over yet! Remember what happened last year!!!! They shouldn't be too confident in their abilities either since Wales scored 3 tries yesterday and that showed major gaps in their defence. Any of the better sides will exploit that. Remember too that when France aren't playing particularly well, their home support turns against them and boo them off the field. I can see them making the knock out stages but not going too much farther than that!

Historically, the home team always does well. All those dodgy calls go the home team, and rightly so... To everyone who rates New Zealand so high, they've only beaten the Springboks away from home once in three years. And that was this year when we played without many of our top players. Another thing about the all-blacks, all this gyming, and conditioning will result in injuries... I know it sounds paradoxical (because that is why they're doing it in the first place) but I believe if players build extra muscle too quickly, they are more open too stress-related injuries... Muscles performing above the specific persons physical abilities....

It pains me to to say it but I think France are Europe's best hope, along with Ireland. The other 6 nations teams are looking pretty poor. France will need to make the most of their home advantage to stop the All Blacks though.

Poor. They are very good at the moment deserve to be in the top 5 nations of the Worls, however they are not a consistent side at the moment, still have problems with discipline and always look as if they could disintergrate at any time.
Faced with the All Blacks, Springboks, Australians, English and Irish Teams any of them can win the cup.
My money is on the ALL BLACKS at the moment.

France are possibly the only team who can beat New Zealand to this title. When the french are good, they are very good, when they are bad (against NZ in the autumn, for example) they are bloody awful. Who knows what to make of them? The talent is there though, and it looks like they will pick up a six nations grand slam on the way (although i'm expecting a big improvement from my england boys against the french), and that won't exactly hurt their confidence.

The French are one the three teams i think will win the World Cup. The All Blacks are the definite favorites to win because of their consistent form along with the Irish who have been improving alot. The French are on my list because of the Home Ground Advantage and playing in front of your crowd really raises your morale

I believe France Have A Good Chance, They are an Excellent team.
The six nations is quite easy due to (no offence to anyone team here) the fact that the teams in the six nations are not exactly difficult to beat.
They have a good chance as Ireland does, good luck to them.

France are a good team and have been as long as I can remember. However they don't have the ability to stick at it like other teams. They don't live up to the phrase "never say die". I believe that they will be a strong contender but the all Blacks at the moment do seem unbeatable.
