Vakatawa at 12 and Ntamack at 10 surprise me a bit.
I was pretty impressed with the bit I saw of Ollivon at 7.
Argentina and France have zero love for each other, this will be a good game to watch.

Of the first 4 games, this is the pick of the games for me. The ultimate expect the unexpected test match.
-
Anthems done and dusted. I have a feeling France is going to win this one.
-
France looking a little dangerous with ball in hand
-
Some big collisions early on

Same as Oz Fiji, at least inflicted by the Fijians
-
Sanchez with a shot at goal after France penalized for collapsing the scrum. Pulls it left
-
-
They are throwing it around like sevens. Frogs score again!
-
Fickou has a hand in everything so far. Class. Dupont and Ntamack have a good go too
-
Sanchez looks gone.
-
-
Great watch so far
-
France look dangerous. Let’s hope they finish better than Fiji....
-
Penaud is great. He’s the French Stockdale. Tall but solid and fast. France with preparation time are a different beast.
-
big forward pass missed there...jeez Argies look average, although French looking sharp

Can't make up my mind if the Argies are playing crap or Les Frogs are playing well

Both
-
Argies getting caught short out wide often.
-
France offside there, but get away with it.
-
good decision

What are the assistant refs looking at? The frog midfield were so far up they were in the argies line
-
@taniwharugby I like it that Gardner isn't too proud to admit an initial mistake and change his decision.
