Yeah I did predict a French victory, but I wanted an Argentinian one. I'm not the one going around bull****ting that you predicted Argentina would win.I notice you had a Predicted a French win by 25 points...
I am pleased I was 25 points closer to the reasult than you were.

Complete shock to start the tournament, I always felt that France would eventually wake up and sneak the victory but not to be, didn't help with Michalak and Skrela missing easy kicks mid-way through the second half. At the end of the day I feel Argentina's tactics were far superior to France's. The constant up-and-unders from Hernandez and Felipe Contepomi allowed Argentina to contest and gain easy territory and their game plan was most effective. Even so, France only have themselves to blame and I certainly hope they put in a better effort against an Irish side who will no doubt fancy their chances of qualifying after seeing the French play this morning.

Any Predictions for the future, Einstein ?
Brilliant win by the Pumas. Midway through the second half, when the French had that drving pack coming within inches of the tryline, I thought Argenitna would go down. But when they survived that, you could just see them grow, while the French reverted to all-out panic play.

Ish. Think there were about six changes from the French game, but with the quick turnaround (3 days' recovery is very stiff for Rugby) anyone with even a vague knock would be rested for a game against a lesser nation. Pichot & Manuel Contepomi were probably the biggest names missing.
