The action continues at the France 2023 Rugby World Cup. At the beginning of the second date of the group stage, the local team faces Uruguay, which is making its debut in the World Cup in Group A. The match can be continue on the Star+ platform.
The match started with fullback Melvyn Jaminet adding three points on a penalty. The entire public present at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium was not prepared for what was going to happen the next play: a kick to the corner by Felipe Etcheverry found control with the foot of Nicolas Freitas who scored Uruguay’s first try.
The conversion was not good and out of nowhere Los Teros found themselves 5-3 on the scoreboard. France quickly showed its pride and scored another ten points with a converted try as well as a penalty to regain the lead and convey peace of mind to its fans. At 26′ Santiago Arata received a high tackle from Romain Taofifenua and received the yellow card under review by the TMO.
At 32 minutes of the first half, Uruguay re-entered the host’s goal but an illegal screen by Tomás Inciarte involved technology once once more and the match went to halftime 13-5 but with very good feelings for the team. South American. At 49′ it was Les Bleus who suffered a try canceled due to a knock on. Seconds before, the local public booed the decision to take a penalty following the celestial defense withstood France’s attacks.
The Teros were encouraged to attack the hosts and in another great collective play Baltazar Amaya broke the defensive line to score Uruguay’s second try. But the happiness did not last long as an error by the South American team left the way for Peato Mauvaka to score for his nation and leave the score at 20 to 12 for the Europeans.
* The annulled try to Uruguay
El Gallo made the first big impact in the competition: in the opening match they beat New Zealand 27-13, in what was a momentous victory in determining who qualified for the quarterfinals. In addition to that, they caused the first defeat for the All Blacks in an initial phase of the World Cup since 1987.
With this panorama, the team led by Fabian Galthie seeks a victory once morest the Uruguayan team to consolidate itself at the top of the positions. It must be remembered that the next round might have rivals such as South Africa, Ireland or Scotland.
The locals are on a streak of 15 consecutive wins at home and the coach only keeps some of those who started in the debut once morest the Men in Black. The one who will return at 15 will be Anthony Jelonch, the third line who suffered an injury at the beginning of the year and is now returning as captain.
On the South American team’s side, Los Teros qualified for the World Cup in France for the first time in their history as America 1 and their main objective is to ensure their participation in the Australia 2027 World Cup. To do so, they must finish in third place in the zone and beat them in the head-to-head duels once morest Namibia and Italy.
In Uruguay, a team led by Argentine coach Esteban Meneses, Santiago Arata, star of Castres Olympique of the Top 14 of French rugby, stands out. Two other pillars are captain Andrés Vilaseca and Nicolás Freitas, who play for Vannes, in the second category in France.
The confrontation between the French and Uruguayans will be their first in history and will take place in the 2023 World Cup. They will play at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, in the city of Lille. The referee for the game will be New Zealander Ben O’Keeffe, while the man in charge of the TMO will be Ben Whitehouse of Wales.
