McCaw: All Blacks respect France

All Black captain Richie McCaw and returning number eight Kerian Read face up to the challenge of a French side playing at home. The perception that the French draw something extra out of themselves when they play the All Blacks isn't strictly true. What's happened is that two games, where they have done exactly that, have tainted the picture. It's not like any New Zealanders can easily forget what happened at the World Cup in 1999. Even less likely they will forget 2007.
