Sat 10 Oct 2007Who will blink first, England or France?England's capacity to produce the performance that materialised against Australia was probably flagged a little in their victory over Tonga and, to a lesser extent, Samoa. They demonstrated in those pool games that the team dynamic had improved and, coupled with key players returning from injury, it made them more potent.The confidence fillip they will have received from the victory over the Wallabies will make them dangerous opposition for France, primarily because they possess the wherewithal up front to make life difficult for the World Cup hosts.
