Some call it the bronze medal match, some call it the bridesmaid`s final, the IRB calls it the second most important match of the entire RWC. Call it whatever you want, but any test match between the Pumas and Les Bleus, is always gonna be a cracker.
Although this isn`t the game either team wanted, it is still a chance to even some scores, show off some skills and get a test match win against damn fine opposition. The French will want to go out in style from their home Cup, plus they`ve got a score to settle. Loffreda`s Argies have beaten them 5 times out of the last 6, and that is a record Laporte will desperately want to put behind him.
Argentina, though, will have other ideas. They`ve already accounted for 3 different 6-nations teams, having done the business against France, Ireland and Scotland already, and will be dead keen to show the world that their advance to the semi`s was no fluke. There is also the small matter of continuing to impress the tri-nations and six nations hierarchy in the effort to push for more regular competition.
Right, with the pressure largely off in this game, it`ll be a chance to see some free-flowing, running rugby. Both teams feature plenty of grunt up front, and there is plenty of creativity at the back for both sides too. Time to predict who will do what, get those scores in- and get some banter flowing!
