Estadio José Amalfitani, Buenos Aires - June 26, 2010. Argentina bounced back from their home series defeat by Scotland in style with a record 41-13 thrashing of Six Nations champions France in Buenos Aires. Fly-half Felipe Contepomi led the way with two tries, three conversions and five penalties in a 31-point haul. Number eight Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe scored the Pumas' opening try and wing Lucas Amorosino also crossed. France, who fielded a strong side, could only muster two penalties and a second-half try from Julien Malzieu. Their previous worst result against the Pumas was at the 2007 World Cup, when they lost the third-place play-off 34-10, and it was a fourth consecutive defeat for the Tricolores on Argentine soil.
