So it's Au revoir to "Les Bleus" for this World Cup.
Into the Stade de France went the brave 15. Well 22 actually as there were also 7 substitutes, without whom we could not have beaten France.
They didn't have to face cannon but there was Sebastan Chaball, nicknamed "The Caveman".
I know how effective he is because he plays in the English Premiership for Sale.
14 points to 9 after a bruising encounter.
It may not have been pretty but the passion and commitment was there for both sides.
I'm nearly out of beer now after beating the Aussies last week and now France, with the Final next weekend against either South Africa or Argentina, a trip to the brewery is in order.
France will have their chance for revenge around Feb/March next year when we play them again in Paris in the Six-Nations tournament.
Should be interesting.

Bring it on!
Great, wasn't it! I'm a rugby convert and no it's not because of the caveman. The word is that he's the sexiest being on earth but... not for me i'm afraid. Ugh. Back to the game: yay we won! I was at the pub, you can see the result at Cheltenham Full. Roll on next week huh.
But the big question is, how was the Kanagaroo dinner?
Dive wanted to wait until next weekend Kate, so I'll let you know.
Lynn, I hope you are a true convert. If so, check out Gloucester!! The cherry & whites are on a roll this season, still un-beaten.
We will have our say when we go back to Kingsholm later in the season and get revenge for last week.
Yes i know, Full, Gloucester are doing really well. Yes i think i'm a true convert and even indulged in some rolled-up-sweatshirt throwing with my son this evening after the match. Did you ever think Lynn would be doing that? Can't wait for Sat, Full. Bit scary though huh.
Should have told him it was an australian whale kangaroo, he would have been right over. :)))
Any free meal and he's right over Kate.
Lynn, the only scary thing I have to face is a dental appointment on Friday afternoon.
My Dentist, Dr Jones, (No, his christian name isn't Indiana) is South African. And a rugby man.
He has drills and pokey things and needles. It's not fair, I may have to bite the bugger.
Bite away, Full. Good luck with the dentist. I've telephoned ahead telling him that you think we're going to wipe the floor with them and that the 36-0 was just a fix anyway. Enjoy!..........
Hmm. Shame. :( Disappointment. The final i mean. Good game though... what did you think, Full?
