20:40 – The French XV likes to play Argentina

Even if this has not always been the truth in its recent history, and we are thinking in particular of the 2007 World Cup in France with two defeats against Pichot’s gang, France has not lost to the Pumas since 2016. The Blues are on a run of four victories in a row.

20:35 – Galthié sent a message to his players before the match

The coach, not impressed to go on campaign with this youth, asked his players for some nerve. The first thing they were told was that if they are there, it is because they deserved it and that it is their path. They have everything to gain from experiencing a tour. […] I told the players: “Enjoy! You have everything to gain and, above all, to be happy!” Today, we have managed to build, with 42 players, almost three teams. We will need a first team that will face Argentina, for the first test match, and a second team that will face Uruguay. The third, we will see what will have happened beforehand, we cannot predict. But, clearly, two teams will be drawn.”
