With heavy rain expected in Montpellier on Saturday, France are set for a tough evening if they are to improve their poor record against Argentina.
A quick glance at past results reveals that France have won just twice in nine starts against the Pumas since 2002.
Les Bleus have often had themselves to blame. At times they've been guilty of not adapting to Argentina's confrontational style, at others their motivational levels haven't been up to scratch - as was the case in Buenos Aires last June when they were quite simply outmuscled before being run ragged.
The Pumas' approach is seldom pretty but it's usually very effective in the kind of conditions expected on Saturday. The South Americans always seem to find a little bit extra when playing France and with many of the 'visitors' playing close to their adopted homes, this week shouldn't be any different
"Playing against France is how the Argentines measure themselves," according to former Pumas consultant and France skipper Fabien Galthié.
"The French internationals are their club team-mates, often their friends. They want to considered, in the eyes of their colleagues, as good rugby players," added the Montpellier coach after having lunch with Pumas boss Santiago Phelan on Wednesday.
Led by an ultra-experienced front row of Rodrigo Roncero (33), Mario Ledesma (37), Martin Scelzo (34) the Pumas are all about getting in your face and inside your head.
French tempers will be tested.
Coach Marc Lièvremont has warned his players not to fall into the trap of being dragged into a prolonged arm-wrestle and has promised the French will play an "ambitious game" with plenty of volume, despite the adverse weather.
The hosts would have liked nothing more than a dry track to work on after Lièvremont admitted that very little was gained by last week's win over Fiji in dismal conditions, as he continues to play musical chairs with his team.
There are fourteen changes to last week's starting XV (only fly-half Damien Traille is retained) while there are ten changes to the line-up that did duty in Buenos Aires. In the three games mentioned three different players have featured at loosehead, openside flank, number eight, both centre positions and on both wings...
So it's any anyone's guess what France's first-choice team looks like.
From a spectators perspective, the changes have resulted in a new centre combination that should be fun to watch. Between them, Yannick Jauzion and Aurélien Rougerie have 125 caps but will be midfield partners for the first time as the latter continues his conversion from wing to number thirteen.
They both stand 6ft 4 (1.93m) tall and weigh an average of 106kg, so they should be a real handful and vital to the French plan of moving the Pumas pack around.
How well the XV de France manage to pull off an expansive style in wet conditions remains to be seen however. French fans will be hoping it won't be another case of getting it wrong against the side that has become their nemesis.
Ones to watch:
For France: Sébastien Chabal has made no secret of his desire to play at number eight, meaning he needs to unseat the incumbent Imanol Harinordoquy. Marc Lièvremont is a tough guy to please: Harinordoquy was giving the Fijians all kinds of headaches in the line-outs last week but ended up being criticised by the coach for not sticking to the game-plan. In conditions where France will look to their back-row to carry the ball a lot, the Caveman has a chance to shine. The beast has been let out of his second-row cage - watch him run!
For Argentina: Like the vast majority of the Pumas squad, full-back Martin Rodriguez plays his rugby in the Top 14. The 25-year-old has been a revelation for Stade Français where his accurate kicking and creativity in attack has made him a regular feature in the first-choice XV. He's equally comfortable at number twelve and runs as well as he kicks. If the French don't find touch, look to Rodriguez to punish them.
Head-to-head: In the words of France hooker William Servat, the "Pumas scrum is the global benchmark". Hence the battle of the front rows is set to be decisive. Servat has been outstanding all year while Thomas Domingo faces off with his Clermont partners Ledesma and Scelzo. The masters face their students. It'll be as brutal as it is fascinating.
