LILLE, France (AFP) –

France’s fly half Frederic Michalak (L) hits a penalty kick during their rugby union test match against Argentina at the Lille-Grand-Stade in Villeneuve-d’Ascq, northern France. France won 39-22.

France won their second successive test on Saturday following up victory over the Australians with a deserved 39-22 win over traditional bogey team Argentina here.

The French outscored their opponents by three tries to one including a double by Vincent Clerc, who moved onto 34 for his country, passing coach Philippe Saint-Andre’s total of 33.

France will try and make it three wins from three with their final match against Samoa next Saturday at the Stade de France.
