The Blues challenge Argentina at the Stade de France. Find all the tests of the meeting.
The French team ends this Friday with its winter tour against Argentina at the Stade de France, with the ambition of achieving a perfect three out of three after the successes obtained against Japan and New Zealand.
Good news for the Blues, after a balanced start to the match, Thibaud Flament managed to find a little mouse hole to score the first try of the match in the 8th minute of play. A try then transformed by Thomas Ramos to give seven lengths in advance to Fabien Galthié's men.
A French team which stood out a little more thanks to Gabin Villière. The French winger concluded a great French offensive at the end of the 11th period of play. Still impeccable in his kicking game, Thomas Ramos transformed once again and the Blues widened the gap (20-9, 34th).
In the process, on a good ball at the foot of the same Ramos in depth towards Bielle-Biarrey, the Argentine 3rd line Gonzalez had no other choice than to voluntarily volley the oval ball into touch. After examining the video, the referee decided on the logical double sanction: penalty try and yellow card for the Gaucho (27-9, 36th).
Alas, after this first act of very good performance on the offensive level, the Blues gave up on returning from the locker room and the Argentinians took the opportunity to find space and offer themselves some nice breakthroughs. And with strength, the South American team managed to score their first try of the match through Gallo in the 55th minute (30-16).
This Argentine try had the merit of stinging the Blues and waking them up. It then only took a handful of seconds to witness the 4th French try. Put under pressure, the Gauchos were countered for the first time, before losing the ball. Which offered an opportunity for Bielle-Biarrey to achieve a small personal feat to erase three opponents and flatten in the opposing goal (37-16, 57th).
Ten minutes from the end, with pride, the Pumas scored a second and final try through Ignacio Ruiz who flattened between the posts (37-23, 70th). But that did not change anything in the great victory won by the Blues, the third, therefore, in three matches during this winter tour.
