Yachvili: We can win World Cup

FRENCH scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili has warned the rest of the rugby giants his side can beat anyone to win the World Cup.

“Yes,” he insisted, “we can beat anybody,” as he celebrated his selection in Marc Lievrement’s 30 man squad and another victory over Ireland in Dublin.

Explaining the circumstances of the Aviva game, Yachvili suggested: “The Irish started very well and they were hungry (for victory) because they lost last week, so the first 15 minutes were very hard for us. But we didn’t concede too many points, we kept the pressure on and we are very proud and happy to win this game. We worked hard, we had a great team spirit and in the end we won. That is a great boost for us in New Zealand to beat a very good team like Ireland on their ground.”
