Felipe Arcos Perez fera ses débuts en Coupe du Monde de Rugby en remplacement de Tomas Inciarte au centre. Sa dernière sélection remonte au match contre la Namibie, où il avait reçu un carton jaune.
Enfin, Bautista Basso remplace Gaston Mieres au poste d’ailier droit. Il retrouve sa place de titulaire après avoir disputé 14 minutes contre l’Italie en sortie de banc.

À l’occasion de cette rencontre, Santiago Civetta avait réalisé une performance dominante avec un essai et une passe décisive à son compteur personnel et un total de onze plaquages à 100 % de réussite.
C’est contre la Namibie à Windhoek en 2017 que Santiago Arata a inscrit le seul doublé de sa carrière internationale. Aucun Uruguayen n’a jamais marqué plus d’un essai dans un même match de Coupe du Monde de Rugby.
Vilaseca à la manoeuvre
Le capitaine Andrés Vilaseca est le joueur uruguayen qui a disputé le plus de minutes dans l’histoire de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby. Il n’a manqué que 67 minutes en 10 matchs depuis 2015, soit 6,7 minutes par match.
Felipe Etcheverry est l’auteur des trois passes décisives effectuées par l’Uruguay dans cette Coupe du Monde de Rugby, dont deux à l’intention de Nicolas Freitas.
Avec deux essais inscrits, Nicolas Freitas est le meilleur marqueur d’essais de l’Uruguay à la RWC 2023. Aucun joueur uruguayen n’a jamais inscrit trois essais en RWC. Freitas partage ce record de deux essais avec son coéquipier Manuel Diana (deux essais inscrits lors de Japon 2019), l’actuel sélectionneur du Chili Pablo Lemoine (deux en 2003) et l’ancien arrière Alfonso Cardoso (un en 1999 et un en 2003).

I’ve put on 4/5 kilos since the beginning of the season too. Not good kilos. Bad kilos.

2 Go to commentsTruely great player. In social media and opinion pieces he was held up and flogged for the results. People wanted someone to crucify, and he was the captain. He was still an immense presence respected by his peers. His battles with Siya Kolisi belong up with with Collins vs Burger in my opinion. Unlucky to be carded in the final, but I don’t agree that his red card was the defining moment. Not when you look at the dominant performances of the Springboks (PSDT in particular.) I think Cane should be remembered for the spirit and physicality that is special to test rugby.

2 Go to commentsIf stormers aren’t available. Based on form and likely availability at the time of the wales Test, you’d think Masuku would be a no-brainer to start. But starting Jordan also makes sense having Masuku come off the bench to close out the game.

1 Go to commentsLet’s examine what might be irking the brainless E: Up until 20 years before this coming Julys tests: 16 games: 14 wins for SA; 1 win for Ire; 1 draw From 20 years until July’ tests Ireland V SA: 13 matches Ireland won 8; SA won 4; 1 draw Points scored Ireland 261; SA 189 Ave Winning Margin: Ireland 11 points; SA 4 points (away 3, home 6) Away win record: Ireland 33.33%; SA 25% Neutral matches 1: Ireland win RWC France 2023. Last SA win June 2016 (8 years ago) They boast 3 World cups in that period (they do boast). The above record is not good, probably not much better than theirs against NZ for same period. That’s why the dopey E is starting fights in his head. He will probably ship a yellow when things don’t go their way in the first test.

1 Go to commentsThis has the makings of a good match. That’s Leinster’s second team but its a good one (stronger than the teams in SA recently). Ulster are really turning a page. Ryan back is huge, and Keenan too. This could be a cracker.
1 Go to commentsThe Farrells are one of the great father and son combinations. Andy was an RL great, and had he played Union as his first sport, I would be sure he would have been avery significant forcewas in League. And Owen, a Union great, who had he played League, would could have been a great there too i all probability. I feel my attitude to Owen has mellowed as he has aged, and in the post Jones era, evolved and shown his full range of talents. He really is an all round player, and I have wold hope his move to France will be successful. He may even be the piece in the jigsaw that Racing need to rise to challenge Toulouse and LAR. He is ofc now approaching 33 years of age but should still have enough left to make a big contribution in France for at least2/3 years.
45 Go to commentsI reckon it may be Jordan at 10 and Nohamba at 9, both players have played together alot and both have been on the Radar for a long time. After Pollard got injured in 2022 with Elton sidelined on a path of self destruction Erasmus and Nienaber indicated that the other options in the country at the time were thin but that Jordan and Manie were the 2 they were looking at. In the end Frans steyn played flyhalf, Willemse slotted in there on the end of year with Libbok as back up. Jordan was right there in the thinking back then so expect him to take the Jersey either as the starter.
2 Go to commentsHaha did he also* say it in a sarcastic teacher sort of manor or was it the petulant English snob sort of wail?
45 Go to commentsWell said Mils. It is a big boost at last having Fergus Burke back at 10 for the Crusaders. Had a great season last year as the article says. Mils is also right about captain Codie Taylor’s performance in his return to the Crusaders last week. He was all class.
4 Go to commentsLet’s make them both Capt. I think we'd get the best of both of them and it would help alleviate some of the pressures of the role. They'd have to confer over on field decisions which should lead to “ learnings “ for both. They are our two best consistent performers.
