France to win by under 58 points (Getty Images)
France vs Uruguay Preview
This result is not really in question, it is more about by how many France will win. And that is largely determined by who will be selected with many first-choice players expected to be rested.

Uruguay are competitive especially upfront and France may struggle to initially break them down. I fancy Uruguay to lose by less than 58 points.
- France have won their last 15 home matches.
- France beat New Zealand in their last match.
- Uruguay have won their last 2 matches.
Head to Head
These two sides have not met in recent years.
France Form
France have been superb over the last two years. In the build-up to their home Rugby World Cup, the French have not lost a game at home in 15 which makes them favourites for the title.
After beating the All Blacks 27-13 on Friday night, France are almost assured of a play at the top of Pool A. Unless they somehow lose to Uruguay, Namibia or Italy.
This should be a very convincing win for France regardless of what side they put out.

Replacements: Peato Mauvaka, Reda Wardi, Sipili Falatea, Bastien Chalureau, Thibaud Flament, François Cros, Baptiste Couilloud, Thomas Ramos
Uruguay Form
Uruguay are Rugby World Cup regulars, so they have plenty of experience within their squad. They also qualified quite comfortably but now they will meet a different quality of opposition.
They won’t give themselves much of a chance against the hosts, but they will want to be very competitive as this is their opening match of the tournament.
Uruguay did win their last two games heading into the tournament against Namibia and Chile.
