RWC: France v Argentina (Pool C)

[Stargazer]

Pumas looked nervous from the start and never seemed to be able to control their emotions. Panicky!

[Kirwan]

French 14 is good to watch

[ACT Crusader]

Excellent half by France. Probably created 2-3 other scoring opportunities too but didn’t take them.

Is that Emile Ntamack's son?

Yep. Twenty years old

[chimoaus]

So has Argentina benefited from Super Rugby and TRC?

[Stargazer]

@chimoaus I'm inclined to think that their involvement in both has taken its toll on the players. I'm just guessing, but maybe they already have too many minutes under their belt.

Not based on this one game. I think they are benefiting though. The hard part is getting players from their NH clubs

It wouldn't have made a difference today but if you only have one pro team, you need to select your best overseas players.

[MiketheSnow]

Game on.

French must have been on the brandy at half-time

[African Monkey]

Thought it might have been worth taking the 3 there...

I hope so, I just wonder if losing so often takes a toll upstairs, much like Italy in six nations. They often say to keep motivated you have to believe you can win, when you lose so often that gets difficult.

As I say that the Pumas score, let’s hope they make a game of it.

Hahaha forget it.....

[taniwharugby]

had to start like that, game on!

[chimoaus]

Has Sanchez been playing well in Europe? Has seemed a bit off tonight.

[taniwharugby]

possible hand helping that one

[Kirwan]

Get a feeling a game of two halves coming up

[African Monkey]

@Kirwan Hopefully haha would like to see the Argies get up.

[taniwharugby]

Argies need to use that scrum...so is the FRench scrum rubbish or the Argies scrum improved in the past month or so?

[chimoaus]

I have to say the modern day front row forward sure is an impressive sight.
