France 37-23 Argentina: Les Bleus wrap up campaign with third win

France eased to a 37-23 win against Argentina to make it three wins out of three to wrap up their Autumn Nations Series.

France posted a comfortable 37-23 win over Argentina on Friday to make it three wins out of three tests at the Stade de France to conclude their Autumn Nations Series. 

Having also beaten New Zealand and Japan in Paris this month, Fabien Galthie's side claimed four tries, including a superb solo effort from Louis Bielle-Biarrey, as they eased to victory against the Pumas. 

The hosts led 30-9 at the break after Argentina's Julian Montoya and Juan Martin Gonzalez were both shown yellow cards in the first half, with Thomas Ramos slotting his third penalty of the game. 

Tomas Albornoz made it 30-16 for Felipe Contepomi's visitors, but their hopes of a comeback were dashed as Bielle-Biarrey scored his fourth try in three games before Ramos made it 37-16. 

Albornoz then cut the deficit to 37-23 with a two-pointer with nine minutes to play, but that wasn't enough to stop his side from falling to a defeat. 

"We knew it was going to be an 80-minute game. We saw last week how Argentina went all the way against a good Irish team," France lock Emmanuel Meafou told TNT Sports. 

"We are happy with the win. We have three from three [in the autumn] and we will look to build on that in the Six Nations next year."

Data Debrief: Revenge is sweet

France's last defeat came against Argentina in July when they were beaten 33-25 in Buenos Aires. That win had ended Argentina's five-match losing run against Les Bleus.

However, with a commanding win in the French capital on Friday, Galthie's side exacted revenge for that defeat while also wrapping up their campaign with a third straight win. 

The result also meant that France have now lost just one of their last 10 matches (W8 D1) and just three of their last 35 matches at home (W31 D1).
