Seules trois autres paires de demis ont été reconduites à chaque match jusqu’ici dans cette Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023 : Jonathan Taumateine et Christian Leali’ifano pour les Samoa, Samuel Marques et Jeronimo Portela pour le Portugal, et Augustine Pulu et William Havili pour les Tonga.
Felipe Etcheverry a délivré une passe décisive sur cinq des neuf essais marqués par l’Uruguay, dont deux pour Nicolas Freitas et deux autres pour Baltazar Amaya.
De son côté, Santiago Arata a inscrit la semaine dernière contre la Namibie le deuxième essai de sa carrière en Coupe du Monde de Rugby, après avoir aplati contre les Fidji en 2019.

Premières titularisations
Au total, le sélectionneur Esteban Meneses a effectué sept changements dans son XV de départ par rapport à l’équipe qui a gagné 36-26 face à la Namibie : trois dans le paquet d’avants et quatre dans les lignes arrières.
Rodrigo Silva est titulaire, pour la première fois dans cette Coupe du Monde de Rugby. Ila remplace Baltazar Amaya à l’arrière. C’est sa première apparition à la RWC 2023 et seulement de sa deuxième sélection en 2023 après avoir figuré à l’arrière dans le XV de départ qui a affronté la Namibie en août.
Ignacio Dotti remplace Felipe Aliaga en deuxième ligne et pour pour lui il s’agit de sa première titularisation dans cette Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2023, après être entré deux fois en cours de jeu pour un total de 39 minutes. Ce n’est que la deuxième fois cette année qu’il est associé à Manuel Leindekar en deuxième ligne.

Manuel Leindekar est d’ailleurs le seul Uruguayen à avoir joué l’intégralité de la RWC 2023 jusqu’ici.
Capitaine Andrés Vilaseca
Lucas Bianchi et Manuel Diana rejoignent Manuel Ardao en troisième ligne. Il s’agit de la première titularisation de Bianchi dans cette compétition et de la troisième pour Diana.
Tomás Inciarte revient au centre, associé pour la troisième fois au capitaine Andrés Vilaseca.
Gastón Mieres remplace Bautista Basso sur l’aile droite pour sa troisième titularisation de l’année 2023.
Manuel Ardao est le joueur le plus efficace de la compétition dans les rucks, puisqu’il a participé à 32 rucks défensifs (total le plus élevé de la compétition), réussissant au passage le plus grand nombre de grattages (6) et provoquant le quatrième plus grand nombre de pénalités (2).
Nicolas Freitas a réalisé quatre franchissements, meilleur total de l’équipe dans cette compétition. Il est a chaque fois passé dans le couloir des cinq mètres. Il affiche une moyenne de 9,7 mètres par course ballon en main, soit le meilleur ratio de tous les Teros à la RWC 2023.

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.
