Pumas put on show to haunt Les Bleus again

France 10 Argentina 34

The result, secured thanks to Pumas tries by Felipe Contepomi and Omar Hasan in the first half and Federico Martin Aramburu, Ignacio Corleto and Contepomi in the second, brought back memories of the shock 17-12 win over France on the tournament’s opening night.

Contepomi added three conversions and a penalty while Les Bleus could only manage a try from Clement Poitrenaud — converted by Lionel Beauxis — and a Jean-Baptiste Elissalde penalty.
