Les Bleu aim to end Pumas ‘bogey’

Les Bleu triumphed 27-14 over Australia at the Stade de France last weekend for their eighth successive win, but they have not beaten the South Americans for five years.

The last time a French team overcame the Pumas was during the 1999 World Cup quarter-finals in Dublin, where they advanced to the semis with a 47-26 win. Since then, they have tasted defeat three times, losing a one-off Test in 2002 before suffering back-to-back losses during the 2003 summer tour.
