Games played[edit]

I'm not sure this article is correct when it states that France played Argentina 15 times up to 1977, out of a total of 18 matches. Using the ESPN match archive, I count a total of 48 games played by Argentina up to 1977, and that's only including games Argentina played against test-capped opposition. Furthermore, they only played France 13 times up to that year. Wcp07 (talk) 06:05, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Text in summary[edit]

I rephrased the text in the summary to be more neutral. Not sure if it's really important to track the ranks of the team in the IRB ranking on this page.

And if we do it should not only when one team gets to be ranked better than the other. As it was phrased Argentina climbed twice in front of France and never France went up??? ... silly...

Also it did not include the second June 2012 test match a week after which saw France climb back in front of Argentina.
