Former All Black Richard Loe writes in the New Zealand Herald that he is not expecting anything underhanded from France in Sunday's World Cup final.
"I don't think there is any way the French will come out employing filth against the All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup final tonight.
"Some think they may use that as shock tactics - and you've got to say they have done so before against the All Blacks, beating us in Nantes in 1986 and in 1999 at the Rugby World Cup.
"But the game has changed so much, it is so well policed now; anyone trying the nasty stuff will get caught quickly. The game can turn even on a yellow card, let alone a red and all professional players know that - even the French."
