Another added: \u2018Moi? Thomas Ramos! Allez les Bleus!\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Giant posters of scrum-half Dupont and team-mate Julien Marchand can be found at iconic Paris locations ahead of the World Cup opener between the hosts and New Zealand on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Dupont\u2019s image, fittingly, is plastered next to The Louvre. The scrum-half is a true rugby artist. \u2018United for a dream,\u2019 read one French newspaper headline on the eve of kick-off. France expects. Now it is down to Dupont and Co to deliver.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As opening nights go, it couldn\u2019t be much bigger. Paris \u2013 and the whole of France \u2013 is alive with the sound of rugby. \u2018We all have a responsibility to do something great at this World Cup,\u2019 Dupont said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I&#8217;m captain, so I&#8217;m perhaps more in the limelight than the others. But we all want to write our names into the tournament\u2019s record books. It\u2019s something no French side has managed to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/17\/75177477-12491515-image-a-2_1694103350826.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Antoine Dupont is France&#8217;s captain and their shining light during this home World Cup<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/13\/75165203-12491515-image-a-25_1694088717320.jpg\" height=\"437\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The poster boy of French rugby, his image can be seen plastered across the country\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/17\/75177469-12491515-image-a-4_1694103795026.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>France is gripped by World Cup fever, with a home crowd expectant ahead of the tournament<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There&#8217;s pressure because we&#8217;re expected to do well and we&#8217;ve built up people&#8217;s hopes over the last four seasons with the results we&#8217;ve had. \u2018But the pressure isn&#8217;t as high as the motivation and standards we set ourselves.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>France and New Zealand have World Cup previous. Les Bleus knocked the All Blacks out of the 1999 and 2007 tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>This time, it is the men from the southern hemisphere who are underdogs. \u2018I\u2019m hugely excited about this World Cup because I think it\u2019s going to be the most hotly contested one we\u2019ve had,\u2019 former All Black fly-half and two-time World Cup winner Dan Carter told MailSport.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I can\u2019t wait.\u2019 Carter\u2019s feelings echo those of all rugby fans.<\/p>\n<p>France \u2013 like the United Kingdom \u2013 has experienced sweltering temperatures this week. The heat will still be close to 30 degrees by the time Fabien Galthie\u2019s side meet New Zealand. It promises to be a truly epic sporting occasion at what will an electric Stade de France.<\/p>\n<p>Rugby badly needs this after a season of misery, especially in the British game where three Premiership sides fell out of existence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are countless other problems across the globe. Carter is an ambassador for Mastercard, who have produced a report on rugby\u2019s future to mark the game\u2019s 200-year anniversary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The report forecasts a 10 per cent growth in global followers and fans of rugby by 2025, along with a 17 per cent increase in participation in this World Cup year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/13\/75165145-12491515-Dan_Carter_believes_this_World_Cup_will_be_one_of_the_most_hotly-m-34_1694089833605.jpg\" height=\"476\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Dan Carter believes this World Cup will be one of the most &#8216;hotly contested&#8217; tournaments ever<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/13\/75164937-12491515-image-a-22_1694088633987.jpg\" height=\"429\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Widely considered one of the greatest rugby players of all time, Carter won the World Cup twice with New Zealand (pictured in 2015) and was a three-time World Player of the Year<\/p>\n<p>In the build-up to the World Cup, the game\u2019s governing body World Rugby reported an 11 per cent rise in playing numbers across the globe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Carter&#8217;s THREE World Cup stars to watch\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>Will Jordan (New Zealand)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>He springs to mind straight away. I\u2019m not sure how much northern hemisphere fans know about him but he\u2019s an incredible athlete and pops up at the right time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a try-scoring machine. He\u2019s not the biggest guy but he\u2019s rapid and has a great rugby brain.<\/p>\n<p><span><span>Charles Piutau (Tonga)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I keep going back to Tonga because of the change in rugby\u2019s eligibility rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Piutau is back playing international rugby for the first time in ages.\u00a0I played with him for the All Blacks and have followed his career in England.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a great talent with great feet. If he gets into some open spaces he could be a real threat.<\/p>\n<p><span>Marcus Smith (England)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to see him get some game time and transfer his club form to the biggest stage. He\u2019s an exciting young talent with great skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The English team is lacking a bit of confidence at the moment but the beauty of World Cups is anything can happen if they can get their tournament off to a great start against Argentina.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Marcus is young. It\u2019s his first World Cup so I\u2019d say go out there and play with the freedom we know he can.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The fact we\u2019re getting a lot more competition globally is something that really excites me. We\u2019re seeing the Pacific Island nations come into their own,\u2019 Carter said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There\u2019s Argentina and we\u2019ve all seen what Japan have done in the last two World Cups. In terms of growing the global audience, there is young, exciting talent out there and future generations tend to gravitate towards that. I speak about that because I have four young boys.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They don\u2019t really understand the traditions behind the game. They just want heroes to back and support. Guys like Will Jordan are exactly that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018My boys are big football fans but they love Richie Mo\u2019unga. My eldest son is constantly trying to sidestep, goosestep and run like Richie. They love Beauden Barrett as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They\u2019re on the Man City bandwagon too and to be honest they also love women\u2019s sport.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For their World Cup last year they took down all their male posters and put up ones of Portia Woodman and Ruby Tui.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There was also the women\u2019s football World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this year. It\u2019s an exciting time for sport. Now, it\u2019s rugby\u2019s turn.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>France have been hit by injuries, losing star fly-half Romain Ntamack and lock Paul Willemse ahead of the tournament. Jonathan Danty and Cyril Baille are also absent against the All Blacks.<\/p>\n<p>But the expectation for success remains. Head coach Galthie has a wonderful squad at his disposal. So too does his opposite number in New Zealand\u2019s Ian Foster. The Stade de France will be dripping in world-class talent from both sides.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m sure it\u2019s going to be a successful tournament and the French will do a fantastic job in making it a beautiful spectacle for fans to enjoy,\u2019 said Carter, who played in France with Perpignan and Racing 92.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m confident the quality of rugby will match that as well. There will be some great stories along the way with the developing nations giving it a crack at the tier-one countries. \u2018It\u2019s a cracker of an opening game \u2013 what a way to kick-off the World Cup.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/13\/75165157-12491515-image-a-23_1694088652830.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Carter has described full-back Will Jordan as a &#8216;try-scoring machine&#8217; with a &#8216;great rugby brain&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/13\/75165219-12491515-image-a-26_1694088758337.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Carter has picked Marcus Smith (above) as one of his three players to watch at the tournament<\/p>\n<p>Only Kylian Mbappe has been able to knock French rugby off the front pages this week. Carter knows what it must be like to be in Dupont\u2019s shoes having been one of rugby\u2019s few real superstars.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Three KEY battles for France vs New Zealand<\/h3>\n<p><span>Antoine Dupont vs Aaron Smith<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The best player in the world and the icon of a nation against a man who is also one of the best scrum-halves on the planet. What a head-to-head this is. Dupont has it all and he and Smith both like to play at an express pace. This battle could decide the game.<\/p>\n<p><span>Matthieu Jalibert vs Richie Mo&#8217;unga<\/span><\/p>\n<p>France lost first-choice No 10 Romain Ntamack on the eve of the tournament so Jalibert steps in. He is a wonderful attacking player and won\u2019t have to worry about kicking goals as that duty will fall to Thomas Ramos. Mo\u2019unga is a jinking, running threat but also reliable from the tee.<\/p>\n<p><span>Gregory Alldritt vs Ardie Savea Alldritt<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0doesn\u2019t get many headlines but he is a granite forward who allows the likes of Dupont to thrive. His No 8 contest with the maverick Ardie Savea is the headline meeting in the pack.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There have been some incredible rivalries between these two nations. To have an opening game like this means it could be fireworks,\u2019 Carter said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carter is understandably hoping for a big upset. \u2018I\u2019d like to think so,\u2019 he said, when asked if New Zealand can shock the hosts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They know if they\u2019re going to go all the way, they\u2019ve got to really embrace the pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Hostile environments are the ones you want to play in. I know the team and the players are walking towards that pressure and are excited about what lies ahead. They\u2019re not the favourites.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They haven\u2019t performed as they would have liked in the last couple of years but they\u2019ve shown real signs of improvement this year besides the setback against South Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think that would have been a great wake-up call. It\u2019s going to put them in good stead for this opening game. It\u2019s better to have that sort of game a couple of weeks ago than now.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alongside his fellow great former All Blacks Richie McCaw, Conrad Smith and others, Carter has formed part of a legacy group designed to help out the current team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve spent a bit of time being a fly on the wall to see if there\u2019s anything the team was missing and being there to observe or share any knowledge from playing at World Cups,\u2019 Carter said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now 41, Carter knows upsets do happen on the biggest stage. He was part of the New Zealand side beaten by France in the 2007 quarter-finals in Cardiff. On Friday, he will be crossing his fingers the boot is on the other foot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019ve all seen before that being favourites doesn\u2019t guarantee World Cup success,\u2019 said Carter knowingly. \u2018I\u2019ve been on the back end of that.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/13\/75165837-12491515-image-a-32_1694089605571.jpg\" height=\"409\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Bristol Bears and Tonga full-back Charles Piutau is another player Carter is excited to watch<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/13\/75165239-12491515-image-a-28_1694088834598.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>New Zealand will face France in the World Cup curtain-raiser at the Stade de France on Friday<\/p>\n<p><span>Dan Carter is a Mastercard ambassador.
