Hah just trying to show all the gutsy big defensive moments by Uruguay. Instead all the highlights show Uruguay getting away with all sorts of on the ground and offside penalty offences.

I'm a bird watcher so I'm going for the Southern Lapwings. 27-17 Uruguay.

I'm a bird watcher too, so I'm going for Scarlett JOhanssen.

Oh.

Where does this passion come from?

What a fuggen shithouse question. Is that Robinson?

I love the emotion! I'd love to see footage of parties in Uruguay.

Best post-match interview ever.

Love the passion and the emotion from the Uruguay captain. Really makes me love this game.

@dogmeat said in RWC: Fiji v Uruguay (Pool D):

well done Uruguay.

Ive only got one eye on it as I'm allegedly participating in a global leadership videoconf but from what I saw Fiji looked poor. Not a team - looked like they rated themselves too high and underated the puny Sth Americans.

To their detriment

All hail our new overlord dm.

In case you were wondering for which clubs these Uruguayans are playing, look at this:

The captain, Gaminara, is listed as 1.75 m according to wiki. The shortest flanker at the RWC I'd say.

@Bovidae In that list that I just posted from the Rugby Uruguay website, he's even listed as 1.71m. The same height as their starting halfback. There's another loosie of 1.755m

somewhere, a red headed Englishman is thrashing out an article blaming this result on NZ and Australia

@Bones Cindy says hello

Does make me sound (even more) like a piston wristed gibbon huh

I've seen a few south american party videos, lovely ladies.

Well done to Uruguay but gutted for Fiji at the same time. Was hoping they'd push hard for a spot in the quarters but they really let themselves down today. They were complacent and failed to change their gameplan when things weren't going their way. Careless offloads throughout the game and weak defence as well as shocking goalkicking cost them badly. When they played simple rugby and built phases they had success but thought that throwing silly offloads was the way to go. A dark day for PI rugby.

Oh nah, that wasn't what I was saying. Merely saying I await your instruction dear leader.

Anyway... Rugby!

Awesome by Uruguay, they were fearless. Really thought they were gonna get topped over in the end. Fiji...seemed a bit arrogant?

Well done Uruguay been my second favourite team for years.


So did Fiji get screwed by the short turnaround?
