PARIS: Rarely has the term “Le Crunch”, often used to describe internationals between England and France, been more appropriate than for tomorrow's World Cup semi-final at the Stade de France.
The old rivals will meet for the 90th time, at the Stade de France, knowing that defeat for either side could signal the end of some distinguished rugby careers be it England full-back Jason Robinson, retiring after the World Cup, or France coach Bernard Laporte, who next month is set to become a junior sports minister in the French government.
