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

@Bones Cindy says hello
Does make me sound (even more) like a piston wristed gibbon huh
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?

So did Fiji get screwed by the short turnaround?
12 changes to the team which played on Saturday.
So I would respectfully say NO FUCKING WAY

That's one to warm the cockles of your heart.
Fiji gambolled and lost.
Tremendous tackling and patient defensive structure from the Uruguayans, combined with a confident and accurate attack.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

I was wondering the same thing.
But I haven't paid close enough attention to the team composition. Maybe someone can enlighten me. How many of today's starters featured against Aussie?Still - I would have expected Fiji to take this game. Thought they looked pretty good against Australia.
Kudos to Uruguay though. -

So the question is how many more of the top team would have played if was a longer turnaround?

The coach was looking past this match and targeting the Wales match.
It's come back to bite him in the arse.

It's a rugby cliche which is bandied about but today it's apt, the Uruguayans wanted it more.
This was amateur hour v amateurs and the underdog deservedly won.

Enjoy the ride because you're not getting off

@MiketheSnow well I’m not guessing what the coach was thinking or throwing out cliches like one team wanted it more.
Depth isn’t great in Fijian rugby, I bet if there was a slightly bigger gap between games more of the top team could have played.
Well done for them taking advantage,
but without looking at the draw do Wales or the ABs have four day turnarounds?Edit: Yes they do, good.
