France may have looked light on creativity in their Pool D defeat against Ireland, but their Rugby World Cup quarterfinal opponents New Zealand expect them to have a few surprises up their sleeves at the Millennium Stadium.

France has claimed two famous World Cup victories over the All Blacks, in the 1999 semi‑finals and the 2007 quarter‑finals, and also lost by a point in the 2011 final.

France Coach, Philippe San Andre says they will not count on the All Blacks to underestimate them.

He says the All Blacks will have to prepare for the old French flair and a top French team will turn up this weekend to meet the All Blacks.

The All Blacks will face France at 7am Sunday

The Wallabies will take on Scotland at 3am Monday, South Africa will take on Wales at 3am Sunday while Ireland will take on Argentina at 12am Monday.
