re. New Zealand – Uruguay: The All Blacks qualify for the quarter-finals after their great victory! Relive the match film
The New Zealanders and Uruguayans took on each other on Thursday 5 October in Lyon, as part of Day 5 of Group A. Blacksh dominated the ‘Tyros’ 73-0, thus ensuring they continue their World Cup journey.
Victory, synonymous with qualification, was never in doubt, but New Zealand intends to “give its best” against Uruguay on Thursday 5 October in Lyon, to better prepare for the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals. To be very difficult.
The All Blacks’ opponent will be formidable anyway: the Irish world number one or the outgoing world champions South Africa, unless the Scots come in to disappoint expectations.
Two days after the blow that Italy received (96-17), we expected to witness unconditional satisfaction from the New Zealand camp.
But New Zealand kicking coach Scott McLeod surprised several journalists at a press conference, explaining that some players would have been buzzed during the video decoding session. With a win, the All Blacks will only have to wait until the weekend to find out the identity of their quarter-final opponent, Ireland, if sporting logic is respected.
Facing a fleet of All Blacks, Uruguay were under little illusion about the outcome of what should be their last match of this World Cup – they could still mathematically qualify – but wanted to take advantage of this new opportunity to measure themselves against the best. .
