23:05 – Baptiste Serin’s reaction
22:52 – French youth crushed Argentina (13-28)
Without all its executives and despite eight rookies who were discovering the international level, France left no chance to the Pumas (13-28), in Mendoza. The Blues were led by their captain Serin, author of a great match and a solo try (22nd). Thanks to the boot of the fly-half Hastoy, Galthié’s band turned at the break with a nice advantage (3-10). On returning from the locker room, Frisch, who came level with Barlot, made the break (44th). Shifted to his wing, following good work from the front eight and in particular from Tuilagi, Attisogbé, for his first selection, scored his first goal with the big boys (66th). At the end of the game, Montoya (60th) and Orlando (76th) allowed the Pumas to make the score a little less heavy.
22:51 – Argentina try (79th)
On a kick in the deep field, Jaminet mishandled the trajectory of the ball. Opportunistic, Orlando took advantage to reduce the gap on the scoreboard. The transformation was missed.
22:48 – Jaminet adds three points (76th)
From long range, the French XV full-back, who has just replaced Barré, seals the French success.
22:45 – The Pumas are powerless (74th)
Five metres from the French in-goal, the three-quarters had several misunderstandings. Jaminet can clear his camp.
22:44 – Serin leaves his place (71st)
Couilloud will play the last ten minutes of this match.
22:42 – Étien is sanctioned (70th)
The winger had one knee on the ground when he grabbed the ball. The decision was correct. Albornoz took the ball out five metres from the French line.
22:41 – Galthié brings out his bench (69th)
At hooker, Barlot leaves his place to Baubigny for the last ten minutes.
22:38 – TRY BY THE FRENCH XV! (67th)
After impressive work from the forwards, and in particular Tuilagi, Attisogbé, served in the cross by Hastoy, resisted three Argentinians to score in the corner. Hastoy suffered a first failure.
22:37 – Serin makes a classy move (65th)
The captain of the French XV has scored a 50-22. We are now ten meters from the Argentine in-goal.
22:35 – Argentina has found its taste for combat again (64th)
Since Montoya’s try, the Pumas have been more aggressive in the rucks. The Blues must hold on and close ranks.
22:34 – Argentina try! (61st)
At the end of a beautiful combination in the closed side, Montoya overturns Étien to score in the corner. The Blues were not attentive. Albornoz’s transformation is missed.
22:33 – Galthié continues his coaching (60th)
In the front line, Gros returns to the bench. Sébastien Taofifenua will finish this game.
22:30 – Attissogbé is sanctioned (60th)
The winger hung around too much in the ruck zone. It’s a logical penalty. Albornoz takes the ball out five metres from the French in-goal.
22:28 – Hastoy adds three points! (56th)
With 25 minutes left in this game, it’s hard to see what could happen to our Blues. Everything is perfect!
