Stade Lille Metropole

**

Another big win for France

France followed up last weekend's drubbing of Australia with another convincing display as they beat Argentina 39-22 in Lille on Saturday.
With England, Wales, Scotland and Italy losing to southern opposition this weekend - Ireland were playing in a non-cap international - the French confirmed their status as the top European team in the world rankings.

Man of the match: Plenty of candidates with the French back-row looking particularly good. We'll go for Yannick Nyanga whose blistering pace earned him a try, but he put in plenty of hard graft too.
Moment of the match: France never looked back after Clerc's second try.
