Ah! 'La chanson d'Evita...OK - it's a bit corny but don't beef.
The Argentine XV are ready for a forward battle this Friday evening. Coach Laporte is scared of his forthcoming promotion to the French government worried about the formidable Argentine spirit which has seen them pressurise the best of sides - for 80 minutes. He needs the result as much as the team as it represents the aspirations of government in France... There will not be many 'gift' games like the one Scotland presented to Italy in the six nations last year but early success for the Pumas will make life difficult for France. Stay cool. The photo shows an Argentinian barman preparing for the match. His personal trainer is to the right and there is even a picture of 'Ben' in the background. You can get 66-1 for Argentina. 6-1 for France.
Two minutes left...and life is getting difficult for France...
