40th: Etcheverry’s drop!
At 40 m, the opener attempts a long distance drop. After video verification, the ball passes between the poles: 17-7 for Uruguay!
18:35
39th: Italian forward
Italy continues to thwart, while Fischetti and Cannone return to the pitch. With two tries conceded, the Nazionale paid a heavy price for this numerical inferiority.
18:34
37th: it’s transformed
Etcheverry, although completely in a corner, adjusts his sights and increases his team’s lead (14-7).
18:32
36th: Uruguayan test!!
After a long succession of close charges, the Uruguayans push aside and take advantage of their double numerical superiority to flatten! Winger Freitas dives in the corner and gives the Teros the advantage (12-7).
18:29
33rd: Italian high tackle
Allan tackles Amaya in the neck, slightly in her camp. Captain Lamaro is reprimanded after this accumulation of faults.
18:27
31st: Italy still penalized
The pillar replacing Nemer commits an avoidable delayed tackle. The penalty, initially Italian, was returned. Already the 6th transalpine fault.
18:22
28e: Capuozzo occupies
The Italian back delivers a kick that seems long, but Amaya decides to play it and punch. He finds a small touch, 30 m from his goal.
18:21
27th: penalty try, Italy at 13!
Mr. Gardner considers that the maul has collapsed and awards a penalty try! Fischetti, author of the foul, receives a yellow card: Italy will play with 13 men for 9 minutes (7-7)!
18:19
27th: video refereeing!
Uruguay goes into touch and attempts a conquering ball which collapses into the in-goal. Mr. Gardner asks for the video!
18:17
25th: card for Cannone, things are heating up for Uruguay!
Etcheverry intercepts an Italian pass but does not have the canes to finish. The Uruguayans continue the upwind phases of play without finding the fault. Cannone commits a cynical foul in front of his line and receives the first yellow card.
18:13
22nd: 2nd failure for Etcheverry
The Uruguayan opener completely misses his shot, 40 m in the axis of the poles… Still 7-0 for Italy.
18:12
20e: Garbisi is isolated
After a new Italian domination in the scrum, Garbisi is sent as first attacker. The Montpellier player progresses but isolates himself from his supporters, allowing Ardao to challenge for the lead. Penalty 40 m from the poles.
18:10
19th: Uruguay puts pressure
On a candle from Arata, Ioane misses himself in his camp. Etcheverry then pushes with his foot, but the ball ends up in the goal by a few centimeters. It’s finally a melee for Italy 30 m from their poles.
18:08
16th: an Italian replacement Gene Capuozzo
Funny scene: from the opposing 22m, Capuozzo shoots into the in-goal. The Toulouse man seems too short, but is hampered by… one of his teammates, who is warming up in the goal!
18:04
14th: Uruguay at fault again
The Teros concede a new penalty, for a tackle without the ball. Almost 50 meters away, the Italians go into touch.
18:00
11th: the Uruguayans close to the test
The Teros opt for a penalty. A carried ball structures itself and advances at first, but is finally blocked by the Italians in front of their in-goal. Scrum to follow for the Nazionale 5 m from its line. The Italians finally get a penalty.
17:58
11th: new video refereeing
M.Gardner, the Australian referee, checks a clearance by Negri on Uruguayan winger Freitas. It’s ultimately a simple penalty, the Italian third row is doing quite well.
17:56
10th: Italy does not emerge
Rather than playing with the foot, the Italians tried another restart with the hand but lost the ball. Fortunately for them, Diana commits a forward a few minutes later.
17:54
8e : Allan transform
25 m slightly to the right of the poles, the Perpignan opener converts the try (7-0).
17:53
7th: test validated!
The video referee believes that Pani applied pressure well from top to bottom. The try is awarded, Italy takes the lead (5-0)!
17:52
6e : essai italien ?
Pani is launched as the first attacker out of the scrum and crosses the line. Did it flatten? Video !
17:49
4th: Italian power
The Nazionale recovers the ball in the center of the field. Capuozzo pushes with his foot and puts pressure on the Uruguayan third curtain, forced to enter his goal. Scrum at 5m for Italy.
17:47
3rd: first Uruguayan failure
Completely eccentric on the right, Etcheverry misses his first attempt. 0-0, then.
17:46
2nd: Italy penalized
The Nazionale does not succeed in leaving camp, Garbisi is penalized in a ruck. Penalty attempted by Uruguay.
17:44
Let’s go !
Kick-off of this Italy-Uruguay given by the Teros in Nice.
17:42
Passionate hymns
As expected, Fratelli d’Italia and Orientales, la Patria o la tumba are sung with great passion by the players.
17:40
One last close match
The last confrontation between the two teams resulted in a very narrow victory for the Italians, on November 20, 2021 (17-10).
17:32
Two changes for Uruguay
The Teros changed two players compared to the match against France. German Kessler replaces Guillermo Pujadas on the heel, while Gaston Mieres takes over from Bautista Basso on the wing.
17:27
Change on the Italian bench
Note, a last minute change to the heel. With Luca Bigi’s package, pillar Ivan Nemer takes his place on the bench.
17:26
The composition of Italy
Ange Capuozzo is back at the back, while Paolo Garbisi moves back a notch and takes his place in the center. The Catalan Tommaso Allan is at the opening.
17:20
A match for 3rd place?
The places seem fixed in this group A. Qualification is promised to the French and New Zealand scarecrows, and the last place should not escape Namibia. It remains to be seen who, Uruguay or Italy, will finish 3rd and secure their ticket to the 2027 World Cup…
17:12
Uruguay can spring a surprise
Six days after its encouraging defeat against France (12-27), Uruguay faces a challenge against Italy. La Nazionale, victorious over Namibia (52-8), is the favorite, but seems within reach of the Teros.
17:02
