What an effort by Uruguay! Was a lot closer than I thought. How we feel about that recalled try? And how do we feel about France after this match?

France did what they had to do. Win was all. Disallowed try I'd have awarded. Felt it was a red for me. And France still favourites for me, but need to avoid SA in the quarters, meaning they'll be praying for an Irish loss

I think its a lot easier for a French team to get up for a game against NZ than Uruguay, so that's part of it - also probably a big drop from their best 23 to their 2nd.
