World champions New Zealand face France in the quarter final stage of the Rugby World Cup. The All Blacks are the clear favourites to regain the Webb Ellis trophy, but they have fallen short at the hands of the French before famously at the 1999 and 2007 World Cups.
Former France flanker Olivier Magne, a World Cup finalist in 1999 believes the French can beat the All Blacks in Cardiff, but admits it would take something special to take victory.
