The France fans gave the Uruguay team a standing ovation after the match, and rightly so. I think Taofifenua would have been harshly dealt with if he received a red tonight. Although, I thought similar about Curry. Another game that will be dominated by a headshot that was not deemed worthy of a red card. This entire RWC feels a bit of a shambles at the moment. That third-placed finish in the group looks very possible at the moment. France are the winners on the night but Uruguay come out of the fixture with the most credit. They were exciting with ball in hand but did not have the smarts to better France over 80 minutes. The much-changed France team were far from convincing from start to finish. Uruguay get a lineout in the corner but France win it to release the pressure … but not for long as Uruguay turn it over … and then lose it again. Macalou gets the ball out of the ruck and picks up the loose ball before running half the length of the pitch for a try. It does not count, however, but it transpires Macalou kicked the ball out of the ruck originally. After trying to batter down the Uruguay front door, eventually the ball is slung out to the right where Bielle-Biarrey is waiting and he gladly powers over the line. Everyone gets a break as medical treatment is required. We get another scrum to see how that goes … the penalty goes against Uruguay on this occasion.

The hosts were chastened when Uruguay fly-half Felipe Etcheverry's cushioned cross-field pass was collected by Nicolas Freitas who hared down the left wing for an early opening try. Etcheverry's French counterpart Antoine Hastoy soon found a way through the yellow jerseys to score, and two penalties by Melvyn Jaminet gave Les Bleus a half-time lead. Uruguay, ranked 17th in the world, moved to within a point when Baltazar Amaya scored but France substitute Peato Mauvaka pounced on a ricochet to run clear and touch down and wing Louis Bielle-Biarrey's late try secured the victory. We're happy with the performance and the fact that we won in front of our fans. The tournament continues. Los Teros will have won many admirers for their performance in their opening match and will surely head to Stade de Nice to take on Italy with confidence. Their captain Andres Vilaseca said: "I'm so proud of my team.

Abiding memory Playing against two of the top teams in the world, for the first time in a global tournament, was huge for Uruguay, a small country desperate to maintain its progress on the world stage. Their opening game against France - a defeat - showed how good they can be at the highest level. The defeat by New Zealand was hard to swallow but another milestone for the game in the South American country. The second, after a series of attacks, had full-back Baltazar Amaya evading two tacklers to score, showing the ability he has shown in the Uruguay sevens team that has qualified for the Paris Olympics. Quote that said it all "The way in which they [the players] give their lives for the shirt, for the game, for the team is something admirable. That is what I will take away from this World Cup, that Uruguay gave everything. Man of the moment Scrum-half Santiago Arata is highly rated in French domestic rugby, where he shines for Castres Olympique. He brought his best form to the World Cup and scored a great try in the win over Namibia.

Uruguay rallied from and down in a bruising contest to deny their opponents a first-ever World Cup win. Fullback Baltazar Amaya scored two tries as Uruguay overturned a halftime deficit to defeat ill-disciplined Namibia for a bonus-point victory in Lyon on Wednesday. Namibia led at the break after scoring tries through wingers Gerswin Mouton and JC Greyling in the opening 11 minutes, but having played four games in 19 days, they could not sustain the challenge.
