[Rembrandt]

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

[rustycruiser]

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

[Stargazer]

@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.

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

[chimoaus]

Wow what a good game, gotta love the WC, well done Uruguay.

[Bones]

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.

[rustycruiser]

No try. Penalty.

[rustycruiser]

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

[chimoaus]

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.

[mariner4life]

holy shit!

[Machpants]

hwoly fook mi tastic!

[dogmeat]

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

[Stargazer]

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?

Wanted: a Fijian goal kicker.
