Italy v Uruguay: Rugby World Cup 2023 – live

Italy were welcomed to the tournament by giving Namibia a thrashing. Their trip to France should get a little bit harder against Uruguay but they expect to win, allowing them to build momentum going into their final two - and tougher group games - against the hosts and New Zealand. A victory over the South Americans would essentially secure third place in the group, which would be fine news for Italian rugby, considering they spend most of the Six Nations trying to keep the score down.

The result, however, is far from certain against Uruguay, who will feel a little disappointed by their defeat to France. They looked superb with ball in hand but had a try chalked off and made a mistake to allow France to cross the whitewash. They will be hoping to pull off a win tonight and boost their own hopes of sealing the much-coveted third spot.

Kick-off: 4.45pm BST
