Italy and Uruguay meet on Wednesday in Nice and open the third round of the pool stage at the Rugby World Cup.
The rugby world noticed. Uruguay humbled France, albeit a second-string side, but still. Los Teros earned 11 turnovers in their own 22 and stopped every French maul. That sterling work was undone by a vulnerable set-piece and 16 penalties.
“They have got 19 players who have been to one or two World Cups. We are expecting that physical battle. You saw in the France game that their breakdown work was outstanding.” Uruguay has been open about targeting Italy and Namibia to earn two wins at a single Rugby World Cup for the first time.
