TOKYO - Camille Lopez sent a drop goal looping just over the crossbar 10 minutes from time to give France a 23-21 victory over Argentina in a thrilling climax to a Rugby World Cup Pool C clash at Tokyo Stadium on Saturday.
Lopez, seconds after coming on as a replacement flyhalf for Romain Ntamack, erased it almost immediately with his left-footed drop kick but Argentina still had a chance to match their stunning 2007 upset of the then-World Cup hosts. France captain Guilhem Guirado conceded he thought Argentina had won the game when Boffelli lined up to take his shot at goal but was very pleased with the display before halftime.“In the second half we never controlled the ball or the game but I am very proud of the first half because we were very clinical. When we play like that we are very dangerous.”
The Pumas had just gone ahead through a 15th-minute Nicolas Sanchez penalty when standout winger Damian Penaud tore off down the right flank from a flat pass and took the French into the Argentine 22 for the first time.They almost made a mess of recycling the ball but a good pick-up finally got the ball along the line for centre Fickou to cut inside two defenders and touch down.
