TOKYO - Argentina were left bemoaning a first half no-show in their World Cup opener against France on Saturday that left them with an uphill task to avoid a pool-stage exit for the first time since 2003.
They rallied in the second half to take the game down to the wire but with England also in Pool C, the 23-21 defeat left their World Cup campaign in tatters. The defeat extended Argentina’s losing streak to 10 matches but that, like their lowly world ranking of 11th, is not as straightforward a statistic as it might appear.
Nicolas Sanchez, the leading points scorer at the last World Cup, had a poor day against the French and may give way at flyhalf to Benjamin Urdapilleta for the next match against Tonga in Osaka next week.
