Looking at the outright market for RWC15 one price struck me as being nothing short of outlandish. France an be backed at 16/1 with a variety of bookies, and it really is a headscratching price. Ok, there is a chance they could meet the All Blacks in the quarter final if they lose to Ireland in the Pool stages and finish runner up. So what!!? The French have absolutely no fear of New Zealand, and if anything the All Blacks will be praying for France to beat Ireland!
The French have an outstanding record in World Cups, and have reached three finals without managing to win. It doesn't seem to matter what form they are in prior to the tournament. Like Italy, Germany and Brazil in the soccer they are always there or thereabouts, and at 16/1 they look way overpriced. With 1/2 the odds on offer for reaching the final surely Les Bleus are worth an each way flutter.
