[RWC2023] France vs Uruguay (14/09/2023)

[saulan]

France need to learn from this. Clearly the lesson is, if you’re going to make wholesale changes, you need to go full shithouse and do something crazy… like playing a full backline of scrumhalves perhaps

Edit: how does that word make it through the filter but title does not?

This is going to be Dave Seymour all over again, isnt it

....did the French props feet not just go out from under him cause of the turf?

That’s not an option we want England to pursue !

Hindsight, but Uruguay should have kicked for 3 points instead a few times this game. Unless their kicker is Libbok bad of course

Based on his pens to touch, I don't think their 10 is up to it

This is in part down to the only tier 1 (and I hate that phrase) country who is helping to develop the game, massive kudos to Argentina and Sudamerica Rugby. Super Rugby America has really helped Uruguay and Chile (the now legitimate super rugby competion) what else have the superpowers of rugby done to develop the game?

I subscribe to the "if you agree with SBW you're probably very wrong" philosophy

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Why have both French wingers for scrum caps on? That’s rather odd

Maybe they thought they were South African?

That lad in the Land Rover promos does as well, even though he probably isn't old enough to play contact yet.

 

[Ddanno]

I'm now realising why I never rated Nowell

 

[Summer Rose]

These really are terrible angles on the kicks. I can't tell if it's gone over unless I look at the assistants' flags.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Boooooooooooo

Or Fiji's lack of kicker

True, would love to have a proper international series with NA
Imagine a 4yr event like a regional WC, with Arg, Uru, Chile, USA, Canada.
Maybe a 3rd Arg team in SRA will be added and bring back a Colombian team.

It's always like this in WCs for some reason, they go all cinematic

I know we joke but how do Uruguay have much better running lines than England, like millions better.
