Tour chronology
Previous tourJapan 2022

In July 2024, the France rugby union team toured Argentina and Uruguay (their fifteenth overall), as part of the conventional Summer International calendar.[1][2][3] Starting in 2012, France has toured Argentina in a two-test series in the year directly following the Rugby World Cup (RWC). However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 tour was cancelled.

Reported in April 2023,[1] the Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR) announced key dates for the 2023–24 season, with news of a French tour of Argentina.[1][2][3] As the tour is only on a two-test basis, speculation mounted over a possible third match against either Chile or Uruguay.[4] A match against Uruguay was confirmed in April 2024.[5] France were also scheduled to play a match against a World XV at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain, as a pre-tour warm-up on 22 June;[6] however, this match was cancelled in May 2024 after the organisers failed to satisfy safety and security conditions.[7]

As well as being toured by France more than any other team, France is also Argentina's most-played fixture, having faced each other more than 50 times. It is also expected to be France coach Fabien Galthié's first tour of Argentina, and the first international tests for new Pumas coach Felipe Contepomi, who captained Argentina against France on their 2012 tour.[citation needed]

Sexual assault cases

[edit]

On 8 July 2024, two French rugby players, Pau lock Hugo Auradou and the La Rochelle flanker Oscar Jégou, were both arrested in Buenos Aires, Argentina on sex abuse charges.[10][11][12] Both men allegedly attacked a woman while at the Diplomatic Hotel in Mendoza, Argentina on 6 July 2024 while the Les Bleus tour was underway in the area.[10][11][12]
