LILLE, France (Reuters) -A largely reshuffled France side showed a worrying lack of discipline and a certain nonchalance as they laboured to a 27-12 victory against an inspired Uruguay in their second World Cup game on Thursday.

Fabien Galthie's choice to make 12 changes from the team who beat three-time champions New Zealand in the curtain raiser last Friday could have backfired as France were never fully in control at the Pierre Mauroy stadium, sealing the win only in the final minutes.
