The knockout stages of the Rugby World Cup are always dramatic. France’s semi-final win against New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup 1999 is widely believed to be the greatest game of rugby ever played.
At one point France were trailing by 24-10, courtesy of tries by Jonah Lomu and conversions by Andrew Mehrtens, but with Christophe Lamaison in sparkling form France scored a breathtaking 33 points without reply from the All Blacks. A try at the death for New Zealand made the score 43-31, but France held on to win this mesmerising clash.
Having already proved their quality in qualifying from their pools, the remaining teams have to raise their games even higher in the knockout stages – which makes for exhilarating rugby.
