MARSEILLE (France): France can play prettier rugby than the pragmatic style used in recording only their second win in their last eight matches with Argentina, their rugby head coach Marc Lievremont claimed on Sunday.
The 39-year-old, who had overseen the French side’s first win in four matches when David Skrela starred with nine out of their 12 points, said that while the victory might not have been pretty the French were capable of more eyecatching rugby after a morale-boosting 12-6 victory over the Argentinians. “This is the type of rugby match that we have won in the past few years,” said Lievremont, who was to many a surprise choice to replace Bernard Laporte as national coach after he stepped down following the 2007 World Cup.
