Trinh-Duc throws intercept to Agulla

7-3

[Tribeman]

Argentinas new kit is a bit sh*t.

Good start by them, mind. Crowd seems fired up.

[Beefeater]

7-6 Parra pen.

Why is it BS?

[Beefeater]

10-9 Contepomi pen.

[Beefeater]

10-14 Picamoles try

Ehh, it's not so bad the more I look at it. But it's a poor effort compared to their usual kit with the hoops

[Beefeater]

another parra miss, third miss of his this half

[Spooony]

Aah see what you mean. Nike's offer were twice as much as Adidas

[tigran]

Well, that's a seriously weak argentinan side, but luckily for them France have scored all the points, ours and theirs...

pathetic...

How did that team beat Italy ?

[Beefeater]

Argentina 13-14 France HT

Good half of rugby, France narrowly the better side as the score reflects.

Italy were close for 40 minutes then they ran away with it.

[tigran]

Argentina 13-14 France HT

Good half of rugby, France narrowly the better side as the score reflects.

Seriously the french are way better, they have given very soft points to Argentina... I'm really surprised by the weakness of Argentina but I didn't know that so many of their best players were in camp for the four nations..

[Beefeater]

Argies had 51% possession in the first half but I agree France were the better team.

13-17 Parra pen.

[Beefeater]

Argentina yellow card after a huge Picamole run

13-20 Parra pen.

[Beefeater]

16-20 Contepomi pen.

[Beefeater]

Montero try

23-20

[Beefeater]

Argentina 23-20 France FT

Big win for Argentina considering the team they had out. France shot themselves in the foot one too many times. Picamoles was probably the best player.

[Tribeman]

scrappy game with handling errors aplenty, but I enjoyed it.

Argentina are tough nuts to crack at home.

[tigran]

That's unbelievable, same old story repeating ad nauseam...

We give all the points with stupid easy penalties or given counterattacks..We allways manage to be in such a low level against them...We allways allow them to drive us to play a headless chicken game..And this time against young and inexperimented argentinians...Well done them by the way..

How could we lose this game when we see the difference of level...We have been so brainless, never taking the empty inside ...


Well, on a positive note Freddy has played again in blue and has shown that he still has his magic touch..

lol yes I saw that, pity the flanker messed it up.

Thought France lacked some composure at half-back.

combine this result with how well their U20s team has been doing and things are starting to look pretty good for the future of Argie rugby.

France on the other hand.... hoo boy.

[tigran]

We have been dragged into a headless game, it was like no one was able to spot where and how to play...

Of course it's the first game, after six days of gathering and new kids on the block but Parra and TD should really have steadied it...They haven't..


But I've really liked Freddie..

[tigran]

Yeah, it's good for argentina..

I wouldn't worry too much about our boys, we allways find it difficult against them as they allways have the knack to drag us into a pitfight scrappy and ugly...

There's potential, but when we can't seem to be able to use the good tactics even though we are stronger at the set pieces ...Well, it sucks..

[OHS]

Good to see that things are really starting to look up for Argentina, now that World Cup winning coach, Sir Graham Henry, is involved behind the scenes.

[Spooony]

They just love beating France

His not much involved. He is a adviser meaning when they face NZ he can not consult.

[SixNAHalf]

Where did you guys watch this game?

Who played well for the Pumas?

[SixNAHalf]

Also any highlight links?

[tigran]

France played well for the pumas, you can consider France scored all the points of the game...

I've posted some links...

You can find some too at wiziwig..

[cashead]

reconnaissance work for Hansen

What? It's the Australians and Italians that poach Argentinians.

[tigran]

Second game, half time

30/3 for France..

At last they play like they should against a weakened Argentinian side...

Freddie is back and well back...animating the game and kicking accurate..

Go Freddie ... :)

[Leniency?]

Michalak is shyte. You know it.

[tigran]

Michalak is shyte. You know it.

Michalak pisses on you. You are chite, but you don't seem to know it.

[Allez Thomas]

Michalak is shyte. You know it.

Len, do you have anything constructive to add?

On the game, they have obviously had words this week and are taking it very seriously. It's not a full-strength Argentinian side, so we can't get carried away, but Machenaud-Michalak-Mermoz as a 9-10-12 combo is looking good. Now they need to be ruthless and make sure they don't ease up at all.

Machenaud is playing really well isn't he ?

[Leniency?]

I'll take those 2 bites and be on my way. It's true though, he's average at best.

[le diable noir]

Machenaud is playing really well isn't he ?

Yup.

[Allez Thomas]

Machenaud is playing really well isn't he ?

Yeah, I've been really impressed so far.

[tigran]

49/10 for france,

ok the oppo was not very good but it's nice to see a good triangle at half backs...

Hope they are tested against better opposition and see what they do when not going forward all the time..
