Uruguay rugby results 2023

Forward power, clinical finishing and composure helped Uruguay to a first win at Rugby World Cup - but only after Namibia gave them a mighty scare. Chasing a first-ever World Cup win at their 26th attempt, the Welwitschias came out firing and, buoyed by a gift of a Gerswin Mouton try within the first minute, were quickly up after fellow wing JC Greyling added a second. Baltazar Amaya and German Hessler replied with tries for Uruguay but three penalties from fly-half Tiaan Swanepoel kept Namibia in front at early in the second half. Backed by a partisan crowd, Namibia looked favourites to end their unwanted record streak but everything changed in the 48th minute as Uruguay's pack forced a series of scrum penalties on Namibia's five-metre line which meant a yellow card was inevitable. In the 10 minutes prop Johan Coetzee was off the field, Los Teros scored 14 points. From there, Namibia's discipline disappeared. A further yellow card for captain Tjiuee Uanivi was damaging enough but a yellow upgraded to red for replacement prop Desiderius Sethie spelled the end as further tries from Amaya, Santiago Arata and Bautista Basso sealed victory for Uruguay, who face New Zealand in their final pool game on 5 October as Namibia head for home. This victory is for them. Uruguay captain Andres Vilaseca added: "I am very proud. We had to win.

Uruguay get a lineout in the corner but France win it to release the pressure … but not for long as Uruguay turn it over … and then lose it again.

The hosts were chastened when Uruguay fly-half Felipe Etcheverry's cushioned cross-field pass was collected by Nicolas Freitas who hared down the left wing for an early opening try. Etcheverry's French counterpart Antoine Hastoy soon found a way through the yellow jerseys to score, and two penalties by Melvyn Jaminet gave Les Bleus a half-time lead. Uruguay, ranked 17th in the world, moved to within a point when Baltazar Amaya scored but France substitute Peato Mauvaka pounced on a ricochet to run clear and touch down and wing Louis Bielle-Biarrey's late try secured the victory. We're happy with the performance and the fact that we won in front of our fans. The tournament continues.

After an underwhelming first half, Italy turned things around against Uruguay to secure their second win over the tournament. It was a fine second half from Italy to turn things around against Uruguay, who can be pleased with their efforts and they will learn plenty from a game they described as their World Cup final. The forwards were doing lots of hard work in an attempt to add another try but Uruguay mustered the energy to stop them. They will be happy to keep the ball in this territory. Uruguay not really in this now. It is not all their fault, by a long distance. Italy were poor in the first half and half upped their game since the break and a tired Uruguay after two tough games have been unable to cope. If anything Italian player dipped his head into the shoulder in contact, but nothing in it. Just a real shame to see what was shaping up to be a potential upset ruined by inept refereeing. A lot going on!

Uruguay rugby results 2023

The France fans gave the Uruguay team a standing ovation after the match, and rightly so. I think Taofifenua would have been harshly dealt with if he received a red tonight. Although, I thought similar about Curry. Another game that will be dominated by a headshot that was not deemed worthy of a red card. This entire RWC feels a bit of a shambles at the moment. That third-placed finish in the group looks very possible at the moment. France are the winners on the night but Uruguay come out of the fixture with the most credit. They were exciting with ball in hand but did not have the smarts to better France over 80 minutes. The much-changed France team were far from convincing from start to finish. Uruguay get a lineout in the corner but France win it to release the pressure … but not for long as Uruguay turn it over … and then lose it again.
