In the previous week, we met up with about 10,000 other Australians in Montpellier to watch the Wallabies play Fiji. This was not much more than a good training run for the Wallabies but the atmosphere was great and centre ville Montpellier was buzzing afterwards. As it turns out, the Fijians surprised most by beating Wales to make the quarter finals but I do not think the Sth Efricans are too troubled by the thought of playing Fiji. I am not too happy that the French press is approaching the coming quarter final of France versus All Blacks with the best attitude. My view is that, the All Blacks might be a pressure game short this coming weekend and therefore as vulnerable as they could ever be to crumbling a bit. I would like to see France do the right thing by the Wallabies and Sth Efrica and topple the All Blacks but it might help a bit if the local press could see the game as an opportunity and not the threat they seem to be reflecting. For our part, we will now travel to Paris this week to see Argentina play Scotland. Yvonne is for Scotland whilst I would like the Argentinians to go through to the final.
