[@Tizox211]

It was an embarrassing defeat for the Pumas against a French team without its best players, who were finalists in the French championship (Toulouse and Bordeaux). A lot of young players with no caps and who could still play in this year's U20 World Cup. This confirms France's reservoir of young talent, with three-time U20 World Champions.

[@ElismyJudge]

It does seem worse when you put it like that. It's a shame because over the years France vs Argentina has delivered some absolute cracking matches. Fingers crossed for one next week.

[@nikolakozhuharov1042]

on one hand - it's not only the ST and UBB players who are not involved: Alldritt, Atonio, Ollivon, Fickou or even Villiere haven't been called up on the other hand Los Pumas are without some important players as well - Chocobares, Mallia, Isa, Bruni, JM Gonzalez, Petti, Cinti, Boffelli, Lavanini

[@garethpearce5255]

Where are all those French players? Are they all injured?

[@Tizox211]

@@garethpearce5255 No, they're not injured. These players are on the list of premium players and are subject to compulsory rest periods. A contract has been signed between the federation and the clubs for several years. The summer tour is a compulsory rest period. It will be the same next year against the All Blacks, which will be very difficult for these young French players.

Argentina are much better than how they played yesterday.

This is embarassing, to say the least. Nothing to take away from the french players, they are absolute class and full of talent, but this is their 3rd team, full of uncapped players or capped players with single digit caps. France´s first team would have give these Pumas the hiding of their life.

I don’t understand why you don’t get carded for very cynical foul play, it shouldn’t matter if the opposition still manages to score or not. Not a fan of more cards in the game but you shouldn’t cheat and have no repercussions!

Penalties are worse anyway. As for cards, as Kiwis we hate to see them and wish they didn't exist but such is Rugby.

[@garywagner2466]

A very odd match. What’s with all the tackling of players without the ball? Some very sloppy passes to nowhere. Referee really wanted to be involved; a bit whistle happy. Rucks had no structure whatsoever. Players lying around suntanning. Pumas couldn’t be bothered tackling so they just collided and fell over. Not really international quality, was it?

Strange game. Argentina looked a shambles, struggling to put phases together or tackle effectively against what was effectively a French development team. Get the Jaguares back in Super Rugby, it´s clearly damaged them not having a professional franchise at home. One team each from the USA and Canada probably wouldn´t hurt either.

Bueno, y ahora? Qué va a salir a decir Contempomi? Que les falta rodaje cuando todos vienen de jugar toda la temporada y tener un descansito? Que como no está jaguares los jugadores no se entienden del todo todavía, pero los franceses sí aunque casi ninguno juega seguido? Qué va a decir Jerónimo de la Fuente, que sigue siendo el 12 desde hace 10 años? Y tira pases a los suplentes rivales? Cuándo vamos a dejarnos de joder con Carreras de 10? Que ni siquiera puede cargar un kick en onside. Cómo puede Bazán Vélez tirar un pase al piso desde un ruck limpio teniendo experiencia en sevens y jugando el URC hace dos años ya? Cómo puede el pack argentino ser tirado para atrás por ocho franceses que eligieron al azar de entre bordeaux y dos clubes más? Qué harían mauvaka, baille, ollivon, cros, willemse? Se los garchan directamente. Cómo no cargan NINGÚN KICK ALTO de ninguna manera? Ni disputando arriba ni tackleando y contrarruckeando? Por qué se le deja al rival recibir y correr 5 m para adelante antes de frenarlo? Si es que no erran el tackle. ¿Prepararon el partido el técnico y los ayudantes? O sólo practicaron la jugadita de montoya? Deberían salir a pedir disculpas públicas todos después de semejante papelón, a dos días de la celebración de nuestra independencia. Boqueaban que sentían presión de la evaluación interna, de chequear post partido cuánto de lo planeado pudieron hacer. Y entonces? Qué tienen que hacer? Cambiar todo el plantel? Renunciar el staff? Bah, según Ale Coscia hubo aspectos para rescatar. En un partido donde generaste OCHO PUNTOS, UN PUNTO CADA DIEZ MINUTOS. Porque el try de orlando fue de puro culo. No cuenta como mérito del equipo xq no fue fruto de una jugada que les salió como pensaban. Encima los comentaristas de ESPN totalmente sesgados, coimeados para intentar tapar la evidente vergüenza con sus comentarios. Muchachos, fuimos el único que jugó contra suplentes! El resto del sanzar jugó contra titulares y ganó! Y si no estamos como para compararnos con ellos, aunque sea con australia, váyanse de sanzar. Váyanse del rugby championship. Porque este partido fue como si fueramos la italia pre quesada del hemisferio sur. Claramente el peor equipo, el que menos idea de juego tiene y menos recambio. Bah, italia está en franca mejoría con Quesada. Pero claro. Cierto que los GENIOS de la uar le sacaron las ganas de agarrar los pumas xq no pudieron llegar a un acuerdo. Y hoy, italia podría ganarnos tranquilamente. Pinta bien el futuro de los pumas eh?
