The momentum shifted a bit in the second half, with Argentina getting ball in hand and forcing France onto the defensive, but they were only able to put two tries on the board before France added another with a final flourish right on the buzzer to secure their spot in the final. It was beautiful, expansive rugby from the hosts, and they have a well-deserved spot in the semis to show for it!

France take the win and they are through to the semifinals of their home Olympics! They started off the first half absolutely flying, scoring three tries in quick succession to take a huge lead into the break. Argentina barely saw the ball in the first half, with France chasing well at the restarts to put pressure on Los Pumas and force a couple of errors. They pounced on those to get themselves onto the front foot and into the right areas of the pitch to get themselves onto the board.

No conversion taken from out on the left wing as it makes no difference!

Tap and go as the clock ticks dead, and while everyone is expecting Dupont to just send it into the stands he decides to shock them all by stepping back on the inside and straight through! A swan dive over for a final try!

Tap and go! Sepho barges up into contact, and Argentina pinged again on the floor!

Pasque on the inside caught in a crunching tackle. Lost forward at the next phase, but Argentina pinged for not releasing after making the tackle!

Great chase on the restart, and Argentina have it back! Moneta with the chip to chase, and France gather this one! Dupont with the burst up around the right wing and up over the 10. Offloaded back on the inside where Rebbadj makes a strong carry up into contact. Shift through the width of the pitch out to the left wing where Grandidier makes it up to Argentina's 10.
