On the number 1, the understanding between Nagusa and Trinh-Duc is unbelievable. They both knew exactly what they were going to do just by looking at each other, and the kick is magic.
Yes it was a France B versus Argentina C, with 25 players getting ready for the 4N but the Argentinians showed good stuff during the first test so this was still a good side facing the French. Don't underestimate them for the 4N! »
