RWC: France v Argentina (Pool C)

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby I like it that Gardner isn't too proud to admit an initial mistake and change his decision.

French scrum not looking flash

[canefan]

That scrum was shocking. Basically exploded

[chimoaus]

Fuck me this is painful.

[chimoaus]

French prop entered that at almost 90 degrees.

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus just gonna say that!! Shocking right in front of him

[chimoaus]

Comms mentioned Pumas have lost 9 in a row and only scored 7 tries in last 6 games. They appear to be in a bit of a slump...

[Billy Tell]

Penaud dropped a try there.

France can be very happy with that first 40.

[Kirwan]

Pumas look terrible

[taniwharugby]

@Kirwan ruining my picks!!

[African Monkey]

Argentina are all over the place especially on D where they're constantly getting out numbered. This could get very ugly for them.

[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.

[canefan]

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.
