Auckland, New Zealand. Vincent Clerc says the fervent expectation in favor of New Zealand means nothing to the French players as they prepare for Sunday’s Rugby World Cup final.

Few critics give France any chance of winning its first title, and most expect the All Blacks to end a 24-year wait by clinching a second World Cup on home soil.

The contrast in form between the two sides means the odds are stacked even higher than usual in New Zealand’s favor, but Clerc warns that the All Blacks are “not world champions” yet.

Theh French winger, who has six tries so far, says “I don’t feel like a future loser, or someone who has no chance of winning.”
