Laporte disappointed at France’s ‘mental fragility’ against Pumas

FRANCE coach Bernard Laporte accused his side of “mental fragility” after their nervy 27-26 win over Argentina.

Les Bleus were 27-9 up at one point put allowed the Pumas back into the match and were hanging on in the final minutes in Paris.

Laporte said: “We could have humiliated them, but we showed mental fragility in the last minutes and we nearly died of fright.
