Having lost to Ireland in their final pool game, France have the unenviable task of taking on New Zealand to try and make it to the semi-final of the World Cup.
As ever, they will line up for their match on Saturday to face the fearsome Haka, the now famous pre-match ritual of the All Blacks that has intimidated many a team, although it has changed somewhat from its initial form.
The sight of that happening as the two teams meet at the quarter-final stage of the 2015 Rugby World Cup will undoubtedly remind any rugby fan of that famous incident in 2007 at the Millennium Stadium when the French team stood tall to stare down their opponents.
The expression of determination and defiance on the face of Sébastien Chabal made it clear that the French team were not going to let them get a mental edge, and set the tone for the rest of the game. France went on to win by a score of 20-18, condemning New Zealand to their worst ever finish at a World Cup.
