Are Uruguay the new Argentina? How do we give these guys the chance to develop. We must get them more games against Tier1 nations.

Completely agree Wales were poor and the score line flattered them. In saying that you invest more money in the Uruguay structure and they’ll start pushing even more.

Wales will be praying that Biggar is fit for the France game.

Already a couple Uruguayans play for the Jaguares and in the MLR, hopefully more will follow suit.

Stripping the ball after the tackle is called 🤔 isn't that a penalty?

What is there not to love about the way Japan play this game. For me the most enjoyable side to watch.

And the other 14 to be in tune with it, it’s not just about the 9

You even manage to turn the best match of the whole tournament into a dig , it really is very boring.

What you and others fail to realise is that the other 14 players need to be on the same wave length too

Brilliant performance by the Japanese, can they beat The Boks who knows.

Boks will pick the biggest pack they can with Pollard at 10 and try and blow them off the pitch
