LILLE, France: France head coach Fabien Galthie said Uruguay had made the Rugby World Cup hosts “uncomfortable” in Thursday’s 27-12 win in Lille.
France head coach Fabien Galthie said Uruguay had made the Rugby World Cup hosts "uncomfortable" in Thursday's 27-12 win in Lille.
France eventually saw off a brave Uruguay to continue their winning start to the Rugby World Cup after grinding out a win at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille.
Les Bleus opened the tournament with a rip-roaring victory over three-time winners New Zealand last week, and are now favourites to secure a quarter-final berth by topping Pool A.
Galthié, bidding to guide Les Bleus to a maiden World Cup title on home soil, revealed his final squad in a lunchtime announcement on French television.
Melvyn Jaminet's 19-point haul for France at the weekend helped the injury-plagued full-back to secure a berth in the host nation’s 33-man squad for next month’s Rugby World Cup. Coach Fabien Galthie also included exciting 20-year-old wing Louis Bielle-Biarrey and newly capped loose forward Paul Boudehent when he revealed the squad on Monday. He is also gambling on the fitness of prop Cyril Baille, who suffered calf injury a fortnight ago in the warm-up win over Scotland at St Etienne, and Anthony Jelonch, who has been working his way back to fitness. Baille was originally ruled out for between four to six weeks but has remained with the French squad as the medical staff seek to hasten his recovery. Flanker Jelonch has not played since rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament during the Six Nations showdown against Scotland in February but has been deemed fit enough to play at the World Cup.
