When France take on the hosts New Zealand in this weekend's Rugby World Cup final, it will be the second time in history that these two teams meet in a final.
The first time was in the 1987 final of the inaugural World Cup competition, and New Zealand won its first (and only) title when it beat France 29-9.
Players are now betting on their favorite team to win the Rugby World Cup. On the surface, it looks as if New Zealand are on their way to repeating history and beating France on the field in Auckland. However, this has been a very unpredictable tournament, especially in the French camp.
In the pool stages, France lost twice - once to New Zealand and once to Tonga. Since this stage of the tournament, France has done an about-turn, beating England 19-2 and then Wales in a nail-biting 9-8 semi finals win.
There has been plenty of action in the World Cup until now, with many qualifying teams showcasing their talents on the field.
The Canadian team was part of Pool A and faced multiple challenges from the beginning, including sharing a pool with rugby giants such as France and New Zealand.
The Canadian side's overall statistics in the tournament were as follows:
- Played four matches.
- Won 1 match.
- Drew 1 match.
- Lost 2 matches.
- 82 points for
- 168 points against
- 9 tries for
- 20 points against
- 6 points
The final Rugby World Cup will be played between France and New Zealand in Auckland on Sunday, October 23rd, with the kickoff planned for 21:00 local New Zealand time.
