Rivals: Les Blues

2007 Rugby World Cup quarterfinal, All Blacks v France. McCaw as recently anointed All Blacks Captain and Dusautoir, a young man embarking on his Test career.

With the All Blacks desperate to break a 20 year Rugby World Cup drought and France struggling through pool play, the 2011 final was one of the most tense.

Full circle from 2007 the All Blacks and France are pitched against each other again in Cardiff and again in a World Cup quarterfinal.
