France player ratings vs Uruguay | Rugby World Cup 2023

Gabin Villiere and Maxime Lucu of France react at full-time following the Rugby World Cup France 2023 match between France and Uruguay

France beat Uruguay 27-12 in a game that surprised many, as Uruguay threatened and France failed to rack up the kind of score fans might have expected. Still, they held on for another win and made it comfortable in the end.

1 Jean-Baptiste Gros – 6

He was a force in the front row, providing stability in the scrum and making some notable carries. His physical presence was crucial in the forward battle.

2 Pierre Bourgarit – 6

Bourgarit’s accuracy in the lineout and strong carrying abilities added an essential dimension to the French forward pack. His solid tackling also contributed to the team’s defensive effort.

3 Dorian Aldegheri – 6

Had a decent game, winning an early scrum penalty and showcasing his skills with tip-on passes. He held his ground in the scrum, contributing to the team’s set-piece dominance.

4 Cameron Woki – 7

He took high balls effectively and was a constant presence in the lineout and the loose. His work rate and versatility were key in both attack and defense.

5 Romain Taofifenua – 6

He carried well and had some nice touches, but was probably luckily to survive a yellow card review for a high tackle that made contact with the head.

6 Paul Boudehent – 6

Worked hard throughout but had a fairly quiet game as part of a disappointing French outing.

7 Sekou Macalou – 7

He showed that he’s an incredible open field runner with multiple carries and runs and some audacious offloading. Scored a runaway try with a brilliant breakaway sprint down the left flank, showing how quick he is. It was disallowed but very impressive nonetheless. He was all over the park in the first half in particular.

8 Anthony Jelonch (C) – 6

Captained the side for the first time since their 2021 tour of Australia, but despite winning, it will probably be an occasion he’d rather soon forget.

9 Maxime Lucu – 7

Playing in just his 5th start in 17 tests, he was very speedy around the fringes and from the base of the scrum, setting up Hastoy’s first try in particular.

10 Antoine Hastoy – 6

In only his third start for France after making his debut in 2021, he picked up his first points for his country and also his first international try. Kicked well.

11 Gabin Villière – 7

The rapid winger got a lot more ball than in the previous match, kick chased well, but also lost the ball in contact. He scored a try with ten minutes left in the match, scoring to finally give France a comfortable lead.

12 Yoram Moefana – 6

Had a fairly quiet game, lost the ball in contact and was part of a leaky midfield at times.

13 Arthur Vincent – 6

In only his second start since the 2021 tour of Australia, Vincent showed some great hands for Villiere’s try in the corner. Not great defensively at times, in a tough match for France.

14 Louis Bielle-Biarrey – 6

After scoring on debut against Scotland in August, he had a fairly quiet outing but crossed late in the match to seal the win.

15 Melvyn Jaminet – 7

Jaminet’s kicking accuracy from the tee was essential in maintaining scoreboard pressure. Despite a defensive misread, he provided stability at the back.

Replacements:

16 Peato Mauvaka – 7

Following a great performance against New Zealand, he came on and scored an important try just after Uruguay scored, pulling the momentum back in Frances direction.

I'm pretty sure the author didn't watch the game.... 7 for Lucu and Villière, nobody below 6?

Do you know that it was France playing and not Chili? Expectations cannot be fulfilled when we find ourselves struggling to get a win, let alone a bonus point...

Totally agree. Villière scored more points for the Uruguayans than for the French. I really don't understand how the players can have more than 5.

I guess France won't be throwing any games, this time, to try have New Zealand out at Pool stage.

its interesting that 7 players got "N/A" despite having played between 16 and 30 minutes of rugby. I guess the author couldn't decide between giving them 6/10 or 7/10, which are the only two number scores that exist!

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
