[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 143681"] France looked dangerous in broken play, unfortunately when the opportunity knocked Martin failed to use his eyes and the pumas intercepted, got a well finished try which could had easily been the other end of the field. Problem for France was difficult passes (and not so difficult ones) especially offloads were going to ground, and importantly the Argies were more physical at the breakdown. They slowed down French ball and turned them over. Pressure, composure and physicality are vital at this level. France didn't have it, so didn't have a platform for any class in the backs to be displayed. French defence was very good however, one reason the Pumas struggled to turn pressure into points.
