The World Cup in France faces its second date of the group stage and the different teams begin to retrace their future in the competition.
This Thursday, activity resumed at the France 2023 Rugby World Cup, after four consecutive days without matches after the first day of the group stage. At the beginning of the second round, France, which in the first match defeated no less than New Zealand by 27 to 13, struggled to carry out a game against Uruguay in which it started as a large favorite. Meanwhile, the All Blacks brought out their entire hierarchy against a clearly inferior rival and beat it: Namibia.
The Teros charrúas, who debuted in the World Cup against the local team after having a free date in the first week, gave a great show of character and, despite not achieving a good result, were recognized for their bravery at the time to face one of the leading candidates for the title. After 80 regulation minutes, the match ended 27-12 for the French team.
The day continued on Friday with New Zealand’s 71-3 victory over Namibia. The All Blacks, who in their debut against France suffered their first defeat in a group stage of a World Cup, left no room for doubt against an inferior opponent, who suffered a serious injury to one of their most important players, Le Roux Malan, when just 17′ had elapsed into the first stage (exposed tibia fracture).
The initial stage of the World Cup, the zones, will conclude on October 8 after 40 matches. The best two from each will advance to the quarterfinals and fight for the title, which will be settled in the final on October 28 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. All championship matches are broadcast live on Star+. Those of the Argentine team can also be seen on ESPN and Public TV and on the digital platforms, Flow, DGO, and Telecentro Play.
