What channel is France v Uruguay Rugby World Cup 2023 match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch France v Uruguay in a Rugby World Cup 2023 match, including TV details and more.
Tournament hosts France kicked off their hopeful run to a maiden World Cup title with an emphatic win over the All Blacks on opening night.
Downing New Zealand, perrenial favourites when it comes to the World Cup, was possibly the best way France could have started.
They’ll now be expected to dispose of Uruguay in swift fashion.
By beating New Zealand, and all but confirming qualification to the knockout stages, head coach Fabien Galthié has the luxury of ringing changes throughout his line-up.
Uruguay are comparative minnows to the likes of the All Blacks, but they’re a team with the heart and desire that matches nearly all they face, and one that could spring a surprise on unsuspecting opposition this year.
They shocked Fiji four years ago and they beat Chile, who gave Japan some struggles in their opening game, in the warm-up tests. They’ll be boosted by the return of scrum-half Santiago Arata, who plays his rugby in France with Castres.
It is, however, Uruguay’s first game at this year’s World Cup having sat out the opening weekend, so they remain an unknown quantity this time out.
