RWC opener - France defeated by Argentina!

The Argentinians have defeated France, 17 - 12, in the opening match of the World Cup, played at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.

This loss has created uncertainty for the French camp. The Irish are playing well and should the French come second in Group D they may well meet the All Blacks in the quarter-finals.

By all reports the Argentinians took it to the French, playing with a sense of desperation. The Argie Bargies (or more formally known as the Pumas) are a very physical team and what they lack in French flair they more than make up for in determination and strength.

The result must tear at the heartstrings of the French supporters.

FRA 12 ARG 17
