RWC Week 2: France v Uruguay

[Machpants]

Jeez I hope our B team aren't as shit as France's! At least we might have that moral victory

[Jailbreak7]

Shame. Score blown out a bit.

[Machpants]

Are you allowed to kick it forwardout of a ruck? no try

[antipodean]

No try. You can't kick a ball forward out of the ruck.

[Steve]

I know its only their dirt trackers but France are going to fold like hot laundry in the latter stages.

They haven't the stomach for it.

[antipodean]

Tremendous effort by Uruguay.

[Tordah]

Wow, only watches the last 5 minutes, seems I should go rewatch the whole match

Big difference in the French squad between their first and second stringers it seems.

[Steve]

If they had the bollocks to show the French lock a red that could have been very different.

Finished France 27 Uruguay 12. Score line flattered France big time.

I am fucking tamping

Will post when I’ve calmed down

Moment of the match is the Uruguay 9 climbing on top of a maul like a complete and utter sausage.

[Chris B.]

Nice work Uruguay.

Denied France a bonus point.

That should help curb any jiggery-pokery with the points table to potentially eliminate us!

At least Mr. Foster can rest easy that his team is still one point better than Uruguay when it comes to playing the Frogs. That is oh so comforting to know.

In his eyes it made all the difference. Funny to see at the time.

Well done Uruguay. Only five of us believed in you.

[DaGrubster]

Awesome game Uruguay!

Red all done long. It’s not inconsistent reffing it’s ensuring WR get the result it wants - france in the final.

Love how we vmvmcan make France playing poorly against Uruguay Foster’s fault.

Only caught the last 10 this morning.

Worth catching the whole replay?

Good to sew BP denied. BOK doing the job for us.

France had no cohesion on attack due to the changes. They also refused to play systems after the first 15 minutes or so, and got dumb at scrum time later in the game. That will be their worst performance at this RWC.

Sure, Uruguay were playing funny buggers at the scrum once their LHP figured out he needed to lower his arse a bit. I thought he was a bit hard done by when the French THP clearly overextended, but they figured it was easy enough to draw a few penalties because BOK is so random. I'd have faded a little on the hit as well

Someone mentioned 7s influence and yeah you could see that with Uruguay and Chile - a few very good jackals. Play to your strengths.

Ultimately Los Teros fluffed too many lineouts to get up, and probably let a prime opportunity slip there.
