Wary All Blacks ready for France | RWC - Rugby World Cup 2011 | Scoop.it

Accepting there are "absolutely no guarantees", inspirational captain Richie McCaw says sheer desire won't be enough to secure a win for the All Blacks in Sunday night's Rugby World Cup final.

McCaw is taking nothing for granted, but hopes painful past failures will drive New Zealand to an emotional victory over France that would finally earn the top-ranked side the Webb Ellis Cup for the first time in 24 years.

Finally, after 46 games and more than 3680 minutes of rugby, the final of Rugby World Cup 2011 is upon us. The All Blacks have swept all before them, Graham Henry’s side troubled only by a willing Pumas outfit in the quarter-finals. France, on the other hand, have experienced the ups and downs of tournament rugby.
