Reserve prop 18 for Uruguay has been awesome.

Fiji almost outta time. Looks like they'll be partying in... consults google... Montevideo tonight!

None of the Uruguay guys should ever have to pay for a beer again

@chimoaus A lot of them have been awesome; if only, because many of the Fijians are a lot bigger, but the Uruguayans are tackling them as if their lives depend on it.

defending like fiends

Fiji might have scored, but it doesn't mater. Uruguay wins!

Damn, if the game had finished at this scoreline - the winner would have no try bonus, the loser would - yet wouldn't have a within 7 bonus.

81min now, fiji with 5m scrum

try from scrumhalf

And its official. 30-27, Uruguay wins!

Cracker of a match, glad I stayed up till 3AM. Night all

Well played Uruguay, they showed up fit, well drilled and played with a lot of heart. Fiji just made so many errors and looked nothing like the team that played V Australia.

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

A well-deserved, gutsy win! Hats off to Uruguay! This can only be good for rugby, esp in South America.

I don't know what was wrong with Fiji. Sure, it's their second game in less than a week, but fatigue can't be the reason. They made mistakes right from the start of the game. Maybe they underestimated Uruguay?
