Argentina looking to shock the hosts in opener

ARGENTINA prepares to risk the wrath of millions of French rugby supporters by making a sensational start to the 2007 World Cup at Stade De France tomorrow night.

And the Pumas coach Marcelo Loffreda believes his French based out-half Juan Martin Hernandez is the man most capable of gunning down the French in front of their own adoring fans.

Hernandez plays with Stade Francais, but his outings in the pivotal 10 jersey have been pretty limited given the presence of French out-half David Skrela.
