Review: Fiji vs Uruguay
Fiji have capped off their 2015 RWC tournament with a convincing 47-15 victory against Uruguay. The Fijians ran 7 tries past the Uruguayans, earning the bonus point within the first half. Uruguay's poor discipline cost them severely, conceding 2 penalty tries early on.


Scrum half Agustin Ormaechea was shown the first red card of the tournament, after an illegal tackle in the opening minutes and then swinging at Campese Ma'afu in the second half.


However, it was not all negatives for Uruguay, as they have ended their 12 year try drought in the World Cup after both Carlos Arboleya and Agustin Ormaechea crossed the whitewash in the encounter.
 

MOTM - Leone Nakarawa 

Second row Nakarawa caused Uruguay's defense all sorts of problems, making impressive ground every time he carried the ball. The lock also scored a great solo try at the end of the first half, with some great deception through a dummy pass to elude Gaston Mieres.
