The eve of the big match. Will England wrap them up or can the little coqs raise their game enough? One thing's for sure - there will be extra piles of sick littering the streets of Paris today as the flood of rugby refugees washes over the bistros. Oh! how we would love to be there, experiencing the atmosphere...but give me Parc des Princes over St Denis for a real thrill. Anyone who saw Serge Blanco beat up Nigel Heslop or Mick Skinner smash Marc Cecillon (look what happened to him!) will remember the absolute suffocation of excitement (and also the herds of South Africans grunting about being champions the next time around...) The France XV might have caught black tongue disease last week - it causes choking in those afflicted with such a malady, and, given that Jonny Willkicksome has said that "England are a better team than in 2003..." he may even score more than 24 points this time around. I fear for France being bumped out of this World Cup, which is why this next thirty six hours should be filled with carnival and anticipation. When the chips are down, the England players eat more!
