LOL that is SOOOOOO French.

It's hard to see this as anything but the ideal preparation for the French to take on the All Blacks.

Their team is in disarray, they've ditched their coach and are coaching themselves. All their ducks are finally in a row.

I think the final piece of the puzzle would be for their coach (the one with wheels, not PSA) not to turn up and them having to walk to Millennium Stadium from their hotel through the streets of Cardiff.

Now what they need is to all get pissed the night before the game, throw some midgets, be photographed with prostitutes and all to piddle in public.

Then they will DEFINITELY win.

The Welsh did the same in 03 apparently and produced 2 of the most amazing games (losses) against New Zealand and England.

They also have to do something a bit unusual when facing the haka.

The flying V last time was pretty cool but not quite as good as when they got up close in 2007 and Chabal looked like he was going to kill someone. They could do that again (and cop the fine), or maybe try a human pyramid or something.

Absolutely. I reckon they should burn either an effigy of Philippe Saint-Andre or a replica of the Rainbow Warrior.

They could sketch an incredibly racist cartoon mocking Maori culture?

All that is wrong with French rugby.

 

[Dewald Nel]

Maybe go into a huddle and ignore the haka - have a team talk instead. That would be amusing...

It might amuse you, but it would totally piss the Darkness off, which is exactly the wrong thing to do if they want to beat them.

 

[Lindommer]

Well done, Francois/Jacques/Jean-Pierre, THAT'S the way to take on the ABs. France by 15.

As opposed to everything else mentioned here. Riiiight.

So if they didn't do that, NZ wouldn't be playing at 100%?

I fondly remember the 1996 test when the Wallabies chose to ignore the haka..................

The Welsh got trounced by a similar margin ten years later when they forced the All Blacks to do the haka in the change room..................

History would appear to show that disrespecting the challenge doesn't end well.

 

[Samson]

Challenge the Haka, cop the fine and blame it on the coach (PSA). Really looking forward to this game.

French Team Meeting with PSA. Seriously, I can't understand French Rugby sometimes.

Indeed. Why anyone would deliberately want to apply for the job, without a gun being held to their head, only they would know.

Is it respecting the challenge to make an adidas commercial out of it?

I've never seen a team respond to the haka by creating an Adidas commercial, but that would certainly be an enterprising response, although likely not allowed under World Rugby's sponsorship guidelines.........
