It came off the winger\u2019s shin and he regathered to score in the corner, as Jaminet could only look on having missed the contest for the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France eventually got into gear and responded in kind just minutes after, as they created an overlap in the blindside from a scrum in Uruguay\u2019s five-meter line through scrum half Maxime Lucu, replacing star player Antoine Dupont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He fed fly half Antoine Hastoy who comfortably scored his first try for the national team, with Jaminet adding the extra two points from the boot, then slotting in a penalty after the restart to keep the score ticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding to France\u2019s reply was Sanguinetti\u2019s terrible day at scrum time, losing every battle to French tighthead Dorian Aldegheri. But Los Teros received a lifeline when lock Romain Taofifenua received a yellow card for a high tackle on scrum half Santiago Arata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uruguay exploited the space from their man advantage with fast balls to winger Freitas. They used their first attacking lineout in the French 22-meter line to produce a move off a driving maul, which Etcheverry used to score, only to have the try ruled out due to an obstruction in the build up by inside center Vilaseca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"media-content-img\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rss-efef5b1fa580df93a2fad4ec8b76fdeb8de370dd01aw.jpg\" class=\"attachment-rss-efe-singlepost-thumb size-rss-efe-singlepost-thumb\" alt=\"Uruguay&#039;s Andres Vilaseca (R) and France&#039;s Damien Penaud (L) in action during the Rugby World Cup Pool A match between France and Uruguay, in Lille, France, 14 September 2023.

He later tried a box kick inside Uruguay\u2019s half that winger Gabin Villiere somehow gathered to score \u2013 only to be disallowed when a replay showed the ball had been knocked on by captain Anthony Jelonch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crowd in Lille began to go quiet, and they\u2019d go quieter still just moments after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uruguay\u2019s sustained pressure bore fruit, as Amaya scored a fantastic try after Arata found him following an attacking scrum that saw him touch down in the corner to make it 13-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yet it was short-lived, as France scored straight after restart when Etcheverry\u2019s misdirected kick to clear hit his own player and ricocheted in kind for replacement France hooker Peato Mauvaka, who juggled, gathered and crashed over with the ball to put daylight between the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"media-content-img\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1347\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rss-efefed53c01c6f1147adc259bb59703d09746fa91e5w.jpg\" class=\"attachment-rss-efe-singlepost-thumb size-rss-efe-singlepost-thumb\" alt=\"Uruguay&#039;s Santiago Arata (L) in action at a scrum during the Rugby World Cup Pool A match between France and Uruguay, in Lille, France, 14 September 2023.

But the Six Nations champions were better in the key moments and kept looking for openings, as eventually Louis Bielle-Biarrey scored from a move in the Uruguayan 22-meter line, attacking the short side and feeding the pacy winger who slid in unopposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the 15-point gap, Uruguay never looked like stopping, covering 90 percent in territory in the last 10 minutes of the game, which though showed no return on the scoreboard, made a massive statement of intent about their ambitions in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t ask for a better team to lead,\u201d Vilaseca said, as his country\u2019s President Luis Lacalle Pou looked on from the stands, adding that all of the players\u2019 families had also been there supporting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uruguay\u2019s World Cup campaign is now up and running, their heads are held high and Italy will have taken good note for when these sides face off Wednesday in Nice.
