Lievremont: Everyone wants French to win

FRANCE coach Marc Lievremont believes he has an international consensus to boot England out of the rugby World Cup.

Lievremont, though, admits England’s unpopularity invokes a siege mentality which makes them difficult to beat.

“Of course the rivalry still exists between us, but when it comes to the English I think it exists with all the nations in the world – if I’m to believe all the messages of support from the New Zealanders, the Argentinians and the Australians that we come across in the street,” Lievremont said.
