As Los Pumas look forward to the second Test next week and France prepare for a mid-week clash with Uruguay, Argentina will need to address several areas for improvement. Despite some standout performances, Los Pumas struggled to match France's pace and precision. Coach Felipe Contepomi will be looking for a more cohesive performance from his team, while France will aim to build on their momentum and secure another victory. That rounds things off in this one. Thanks for tuning into Tribe.
Throughout the match, France remained a step ahead of Argentina, showcasing superior tactical play and execution. Antoine Frisch was particularly effective with his damaging runs, Antoine Hastoy excelled with his precise kicking, and Baptiste Serin provided strong leadership and tactical acumen from halfback. For Argentina, Santiago Carreras was astute with his kicking, Martin Bogado was dangerous at the back, and Pablo Matera worked tirelessly up front.

France quickly responded with a try from Theo Attissogbe in the 67th minute, showcasing his attacking ability on the right wing. Hastoy's conversion widened the gap further, before France sealed their victory with a long-range penalty goal from Melvyn Jaminet in the 76th minute. Argentina managed a consolation try from Matias Orlando in the 77th minute, but it was too little, too late, as France cruised to victory in the end.
