The French XV plays its third and final match of the fall tour against Argentina this Friday, November 22 (9:10 p.m.) at the Stade de France. After a spectacular victory (52-12) against Japan, the Blues followed up with a success (30-29) against the All Blacks at the end of a very high level match. With confidence, Fabien Galthié's men will try to close this autumn tour with a third victory, but for that, they will have to get rid of the always eye-catching Pumas.
Historically, Argentina has often posed problems for the French XV, although the Blues dominate the confrontation record with 14 victories for 10 defeats. Until July 13, the XV of France remained on five consecutive victories against the Pumas, before losing (33-25) with a team largely reshuffled in a difficult context, marked by the Jegou-Auradou affair.
If the Blues are in great shape in November, Argentina easily won (18-50) in Italy and seriously took on Ireland in Dublin, before losing (22-19). In September, as part of the Rugby Championship, the Pumas achieved the feat of beating South Africa (29-28), the reigning double world champion, before being seriously corrected by the Springboks (48-7). ) the following week. Not always consistent, Argentina is however capable of beating any team and the Blues will have to be wary of this trap.
