Through heroic defending, Uruguay did not allow the three-time world champions into their goal area for twenty minutes, but then Damien McKenzie broke the ice, and the bonus point was already in the New Zealanders’ pocket by the break – that is. They had their fourth goal as well. A particularly stunning action was one during which McKenzie launched himself with a forehand kick and then drove Will Jordan towards the finish line with a sumptuous pass.

McKenzie, who was named man of the match, Jordan scored two goals each from eleven goals, Leicester Vengaanuku scored three goals, while Sam Whitelock, who entered the field towards the end of the second half, became a World Cup record. Defending champion: This was his 23rd World Cup match, as he left England’s Jason Leonard and New Zealand’s Richie McCaw behind, and now leads the list alone.
The match between France and Italy, which will be held on Friday evening, will determine the other place in Group A, in addition to the team that will qualify for the quarter-finals as group leader. A draw is enough for host France after they crushed New Zealand in the opening match.
