Argentina v French Barbarians Rugby Championship Warm-Up Series

The 2015 Rugby Championship is now fourteen days away. The leading force in the Americas, Argentina, will debut against reigning champions New Zealand in Christchurch. As preparation for the tournament Los Pumas are currently undergoing a High Performance training regime in Sydney, Australia.

Ahead of departing for Sydney the squad Daniel Hourcade experimented with a number of players as Argentina faced the French Barbarians in a two match series which was without regular players including Agustín Creevy, Marcos Ayerza, Juan Manuel Leguizamón, Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe, Leonardo Senatore, Marcelo Bosch, Juan Martín Hernández and Horacio Agulla.

The series was tied with each team winning once and saw a number of players enhance their Rugby World Cup selection chances.
