Les Blues racked up 14 tries in Marseille as they won 96-0, the biggest win of the tournament so far and one that makes it three victories from three for the hosts in Pool A, though they now have a key injury concern over inspirational captain Antoine Dupont.
Argentina take on Samoa on Friday night, before the weekend brings five more matches.
Much-changed England look to continue their winning start when they face debutants Chile in Pool D, before South Africa and Ireland go head-to-head in a match between two of the very best sides in the world in Pool B.
Scotland are back in action on Sunday, going up against Tonga, before a decisive clash between Wales and Australia takes centre stage in Pool C.
