| MATCH NOTES Both coaches were to retire from the international scene at the end of this match; Bernard Laporte into politics and Loffreda to link up with English club Sale Sharks. Longo was playing his 50th test for Argentina. This match saw the end of the international rugby careers of Pichot (Argentina) and French Captain Ibanez. Ibanez's final match ended abruptly when he was yellow carded just before half time but did not reappear.
