We’ll that was pretty awful from France. They played a totally different game to their usual, with them seemingly trying to run from everywhere rather than playing for territory and percentages.

That, combined with the lack of leadership on the field gave the impression of everyone trying desperately to make a claim for the first team place and ironically, for the most part, they’ve played themselves out of it.

Thought Jelonch as captain was an odd choice, and reckon I was proved right tbh.

That being said, kudos to Uruguay. Reckon that will be one of those performances that gets a bump in kids picking up a ball back home.
