Top 14 Bernard Laporte's return to rugby starts on a bum note
Former France head coach and controversial figure Bernard Laporte's return to the coaching scene as director of rugby at Montpellier has started with defeat.
France beat Uruguay 27-12 in a game that surprised many, as Uruguay threatened and France failed to rack up the kind of score fans might have expected. Still, they held on for another win and made it comfortable in the end.
