Uruguay fly-half Felipe Berchesi (pictured) was one of only four professional players in Los Teros' World Cup squad at Rugby World Cup 2015.
In Kamiashi on Wednesday, he was Player of the Match after posting 15 points, a Teros record in a single RWC game, as his side stunned Fiji to win 30-27 in Pool D.
Berchesi's tally in Uruguay's third and most prestigious RWC victory leaves the record points-haul by a Uruguay player in a World Cup tournament - Diego Aguirre's 17, in 1999 - well within reach.
Los Teros' Argentinian coach Esteban Meneses makes only two changes to the XV who started against the Pacific Islanders for their match against Georgia on Sunday.
Juan Pedro Rombys replaces Diego Arbelo at tight-head prop, and, in the back row, Manuel Diana, one of the try scorers against Fiji, makes way for number eight Alejandro Nieto.
Ten players in the Uruguay RWC 2019 squad are attached to clubs in North America's new Major League Rugby, and Berchesi is one of three who play in France.
@Billy-Tell these boys are up for it. Love me some world cup this is great fun

Games like these are great because they are somewhat even and an upset is possible. In saying that Georgia look comfortably better so far. It’s so annoying that Ireland and Scotland killed the world league: cowards

Fark, the world league would have been great fun. Meaningful games like this most years ... bring that shit on, grow rugby, give us supporters an excuse to get blasted on the couch yelling at the TV. Brilliant.
Oh, man, don't start reviewing everything that remotely looks like a shoulder charge, if it doesn't touch the head/neck. Rugby is a physical game, there's always going to be some hard contact. Ugghh
@Stargazer Yeah that was very soft.
@Stargazer disagree on that, you've already posted about Peyper messing up, that wasn't head/neck.
The one just now was stupid though, I reckon he had every right to tackle that guy. It's just like when you see guys get snotted as they're attempting to regain a ball they've fumbled.
I reckon Barnes is a lock for the final if England aren’t there. He’s been the best of the “senior” refs.
@Billy-Tell Mandatory in case a certain temparature is reached, I think. Player welfare. Preventing dehydration etc.

That’s why there are reserves. Just thinks it kills the advantage for a fitter team.
@Billy-Tell They can't replace every player though. I think it's common sense. Players sweat a lot in high temperatures. Dehydration in itself is bad for your health, but it also increases the risk of other injuries (it affects your coordination, for example).

Haha! Oh sure, the reserves are there for if you send players off to hospital unconscious or severely ill from dehydration or heatstroke.

Yeah I'm the dick because an absolute common sense water break in very hot conditions should only be done in u10 rugby.

Don't be a dick, they should just get fitter.
