Hey, aren’t we seeing the end of this interminable group stage of the Rugby World Cup? And yes, the last day of Group A begins this Thursday with New Zealand – Uruguay which we will bring to you live from Parc OL de Décines. An All Blacks match in France is always a hell of an event, so let’s not shy away from our pleasure. We will not soon forget the way in which Aaron Smith’s partners defragmented Italy (96-17) in this same stadium last week.
There should not be much more opposition this evening, even if Uruguay offered unexpected resistance to the Blues during the second day (12-27). There, Ian Foster has gone on a lot of rotations, since Aaron Smith and Ardie Savea are for example not in the group, in order to come back fresh for the huge quarter-final which is announced next week against the Ireland. A New Zealand success will definitively formalize the qualification of this team, whatever the France-Italy scenario on Friday (9 p.m.).
