Rugby World Cup 2019 in numbers

Follow live updates from the Rugby World Cup as Australia and Uruguay go head to head in Oita.

The Wallabies, who have experienced mixed results so far in Japan, are looking to return to the top of Pool D with a victory over their South American opponents.

Although Australia currently find themselves a point behind Fiji, they have a game in hand on the Pacific Islanders and are expected to come through the clash with Uruguay without too much difficulty, with a final win over Georgia enough to take them through to the quarter-finals.

1 minute

Australia look to build a first attack with big carriers around the fringes, but blindside flanker Manuel Ardao latched on over the top of Adam Coleman as the lock is left exposed at the breakdown to win a holding on penalty. Sharp work from Ardao.

Australia win a penalty from the first scrum, and launch from the back of a stagnant maul inside the Uruguay 22.

The ball bounces free and Uruguay try to hack it away, but only succeed in firing into the legs of Kurtley Beale, and the ball bounces into the hands of Tevita Kuridrani.

Space on the left, and Australia find it...

TRY! Dane Haylett-Petty dives over!

The Uruguay defence is much too narrow and Kurtley Beale is screaming for the ball as Nic White picks up at the base of the ruck, and it is simple passing to work the ball through the hands of Beale to wing Haylett-Petty, who is in untouched in the corner with a dive.

Over goes the conversion.

Australia 7-0 Uruguay

Australia fumble the restart and hand Uruguay attacking ball, and Nicolas Freitas draws a free ten metres with a quick tap from a penalty, the Wallabies not back the requisite distance.

Penalty prodded into the corner.

Uruguay opt to maul from the lineout, but don't make much ground, but somehow retain the ball despite an apparent collapse to floor with Australia keeping the ball from being playable.

Five metre scrum for Los Teros.

11 minutes

Uruguay bring Nicolas Freitas off his wing and the number eleven nearly scythes through a gap in the Australia midfield, just about felled as he carries to within a metre of the line.

Uruguay knock-on at the breakdown, but Freitas was taken high and they will have the penalty.

PENALTY!

A simple one for Felipe Berchesi, and Uruguay are on the board.

​Australia 7-3 Uruguay

13 minutes

Adam Coleman is pinged for a high shot from the restart, and Mathieu Raynal send it upstairs to check if this will be anything beyond a penalty.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 October 2019 06:31

YELLOW CARD!

Adam Coleman is sent to the sin bin for the high tackle. HIs initial contact is on the shoulder but he has slipped up to the head, and Mathieu Raynal and TMO Ben Skeen are in agreement that the tackle warrants a yellow card. Australia down to 14 men for ten minutes.
