The All Blacks are gearing up for "do or die" footy - and France again is the enemy.
With France being outplayed by Ireland 24-9 at Cardiff, it has set up a much anticipated replay of the 2007 quarterfinal that the French famously won.
The All Blacks know they are going to be inundated with questions about that match eight years ago.
The French were far from impressive against the Irish and didn't deserve to top their pool. Instead Ireland will square off with Argentina.
France looked a shadow of their former selves at World Cups, but they do have the potential to produce something special when everyone least expects it.
It has the All Blacks on edge - they know what the French are capable of.
Even in 2011, when everyone wrote them off, they triumphed 8-7 at Eden Park. There will be a lot of nervous All Blacks this week – it's a re-match of epic proportions.
