The snow that had appeared on the pitch at the Stade de France during training the day before the match gave way to an avalanche of points. The France

Victorious over Japan (52-12), then New Zealand (30-29), the Blues thus achieved a full success by beating the Pumas, as usual difficult to play, and who never gave up despite the clear advantage in favor of Fabien Galthié's men at the break (30-9).

Thibaud Flament was the first Frenchman to place the ball in the Argentinian in-goal, at the end of an action where the second row had also been on the receiving end of the throw into touch (9^e5-0). The Argentines, who received two yellow cards in the first forty minutes, initially remained in contact thanks to three penalties from Tomas Albornoz, who responded to the always precise foot of Thomas Ramos, author of 15 points this Friday (28^e13-9).

Fourth try in three matches for Louis Bielle-Barrey

But the Blues then took off. Gabin Villière scored a second try (34^e20-9), then the referee decided to grant a penalty try to the Tricolores (36^e27-9). A large advantage that the Pumas melted away in the second period thanks to Thomas Gallo (56^e30-16) and Ignacio Ruiz (70^e37-23). In the meantime, Louis Bielle-Biarrey had made his vista speak to register his fourth try in three autumn matches (59^e37-16).

Enough to end this tour on a good note despite a more difficult second act, under the eyes of a still lively and noisy audience in Saint-Denis. It is also in its lair, on Friday January 31, 2025, that the Blues will begin the Six Nations Tournament, against Wales (9:15 p.m.).
