New Zealand can't lose this year's Rugby World Cup if the French view is anything to go by.

Eighty per cent of respondents to a poll conducted by leading French sports newspaper L'Equipe believe the All Blacks will take out the cup.

The respondents are not so confident about France's chances with more than half saying that their team will not make the quarter finals.

The All Blacks and Les Bleus are in the same pool of the competition.
