Italy take on Uruguay in this Pool A encounter knowing that a victory of any kind will take them to the top of the table ahead of both France and New Zealand.
They kicked off their Rugby World Cup campaign with a strong performance against Namibia and Kieran Crowley’s side will have their sights set on the quarter-finals should they be victorious in Nice this afternoon.
Los Teros, meanwhile, pushed France much closer than expected in their first Pool A fixture, eventually falling to a 27-12 defeat, but will have enough confidence to back up that performance after a six-day turnaround.
This match is set to be a close and exciting affair and could set Italy up as favourites to progress should they also secure another bonus point.

Still, that’s for the future. Right now they’ll be celebrating a fine win in Nice.
