French don't mind being written off

The French say they're not being drawn into any of the talk that they don't have a chance in Sunday night's final.

Despite upsetting the All Blacks twice at World Cups, the French are given little chance by most fans and also the bookies.

The French have named the same starting 15 that beat Wales in the semi-finals.

French halfback Dimitri Yachvili says he's not concerned that they're being written off and says they don't care about what's been said.
