[RWC2023] New Zealand vs Uruguay (05/10/2023)

[Tooting Carmen]

This is great fun to watch. Not what I expected.

Uruguay caused problems for Italy and even France remember?

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Still no try!

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Horrible attack on the Uruguayan's head. More generally, if the All Blacks played like this more often, it would certainly make international rugby more competitive.

 

[Jer1cho]

Survival lol. They are really tackling hard.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Actually, in the previous two World Cups when Wales played Uruguay, the latter were very ****ly in the first-half, but eventually the former could just about pull away.

 

[Jer1cho]

Yeah these teams can't last 80 minutes against the elite.

Cane again missing as a ******* captain

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Did MacKenzie drop the ball again?

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Ireland have nothing to worry about

 

[Jer1cho]

Tmo desperately looking for anything in the background

Im very confused. Why wasn't Mounga given a card for the neck clearout. Other players have been carded for that.
I don't know what the rules are anymore.

 

[Jer1cho]

Ireland have nothing to worry about

Except Scotland

At least it is being genuinely equal rather than automatically believing NZ.

Really hope Uruguay can get better competition over the next four years

Wales were supposed to tour them in Summer 2021, only the pandemic stopped it. I believe SA, France and Italy have occasionally played them outside World Cups.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

As well as Argentina several times, of course.

 

[Jer1cho]

Handling errors really letting Uruguay down.

Before now they were really letting NZ down.

Roigard may be playing himself out of the bench.
