The uruguay second row in the scrum cap (Aliaga) is very impressive in some aspects of play. He had turned over possession three times already.

The prop on his side of the scrum is getting hanmered which doesnt look great but at 23 years old he could well get some offers this side of the Atlantic.

Beautiful score

Iamabeliever · 14-09-2023 8:39pm

Wow NZ could well finish top yet

FrancieBrady · 14-09-2023 8:39pm

Baffling decision. He led with elbow regardless of what the second tackler was doing

ersatz · 14-09-2023 8:39pm

France really are a mess here. If Uruguays handling was a little sharper…and they’re in for another. Bottle job on the card.

lawrencesummers · 14-09-2023 8:40pm

You gotta love the blocking on the french 10 for that try.

griffin100 · 14-09-2023 8:40pm

How can you lead with the forearm and make no effort to wrap yet only get a yellow? Hometown decision if I ever seen one.

fitz · 14-09-2023 8:40pm

Is that not the Farrell issue all over again? Always illegal, so can't be mitigation?

Nice try from Uruguay. France a shambles at the moment.

Hence why it was ruled out.

StevenToast · 14-09-2023 8:41pm

Jesus the referees are out doing themselves to fùck over the smaller nations....

Fùck this...

14-09-2023 8:41pm

This is great.

Pathetic dive though

Its the right call.

Disallowing the try that is...should have been a red all day long.

fitz · 14-09-2023 8:41pm

Harsh, don't think the French defender was in any realistic position to make a tackle.

SaoPaulo41 · 14-09-2023 8:42pm

Uruguay being shafted here, shocking stuff. TMO a joke

Eoinbmw · 14-09-2023 8:42pm

Another day another minow getting fecked over by the referees!

irelandrover · 14-09-2023 8:42pm

Seems harsh to me. He's an option for a pass.

SaoPaulo41 · 14-09-2023 8:43pm

Whatever team play france ,they will need to be in a big lead against them as refs will be a homer

jammiedodgers · 14-09-2023 8:43pm

That's never going to be called back if it's France that score that try. That's the frustrating part.

threeball · 14-09-2023 8:44pm

Don't know why the minnows show up to the world Cup every 4yrs just to get shafted continously.

This is it · 14-09-2023 8:44pm

Can't understand that, 12 offloads and gets hit by the French player but he's done for obstruction?

Edit: Or was it later in the phase?

joedamuss · 14-09-2023 8:44pm

Very unfair on Uruguay there, there really putting it up to France

SaoPaulo41 · 14-09-2023 8:44pm

Uruguay scrum half is class

lawrencesummers · 14-09-2023 8:45pm

If the uruguay loosehead doesnt get yellow carded in this game he should buy a euromillions ticket.

Burkie1203 · 14-09-2023 8:46pm

YC coming here

magic17 · 14-09-2023 8:46pm

Hold up. Why is the #5 coming back on for France? I thought head hits are a big no no now. The guy should be arrested for that assault, never mind getting a card.

Kermit.de.frog · 14-09-2023 8:46pm

A better team than Uruguay would be really punishing France here. I wouldn't say they have been a rabble but they've been very poor.

lawrencesummers · 14-09-2023 8:47pm

Lifters clearly ahead of jumper in that last lineout.

clearly, blatantly and very obvious

TomsOnTheRoof · 14-09-2023 8:47pm

The card should have been red all day. The tackle was always illegal so there should have been no mitigation. The officiating at the RWC has been farcical.

SaoPaulo41 · 14-09-2023 8:47pm

Uruguay will give Italy a good game
