  1. Wales 28-9 Uruguaypublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 20 September 2015

    Cory Allen has had to go off injured but his hat-trick means he at least has the consolation of replacing England's Mike Brown as the tournament's leading try scorer.

    Allen is also third on the top points scorers list at this World Cup with 15.

    Japan's Ayumu Goromaru is top after he scored 24 points in his side's memorable 34-32 win over South Africa on Saturday, while Frederic Michalak collected 19 points as France gained a routine 32-10 win over Italy at Twickenham.

    The Cardiff crowd start a Mexican Wave as they wait for the red and blues to form a scrum. Uruguay struggling with that set-piece, penalised for folding and Wales gain acres of territory with a Rhys Priestland touch finder.

    Wales counter-attack with Gareth Davies displaying the speed of a sprinter down the left wing, getting a few fans off their seats no doubt. He hopefully passes over his shoulder... a man in red gathers... eventually Lloyd Williams dives over the line, but referee Romain Poite blows his whistle and calls the players back. They must return to the Welsh half because of a forward pass to Davies at the start of the move. No try for Williams.

    As Wales's points tally continues to grow apace, so does their injury list. They've surely wrapped this game up, but at what price ahead of bigger challenges to come? Recently retired former England and London Welsh centre Tom May has his say...

    Wales' Cory Allen has limped off the field injured, but he has played his part in this Wales victory. His stats today are: 

    Tries: Three

    Metres gained: 47

    Carries: Six

    Clean breaks: One

    Passes: Three

    Tackles: Three.

  6. Wales 40-9 Uruguaypublished at 61 mins

    Scott Williams the latest Welsh player to break the gainline, side-stepping one defender before sprinting like a greyhound through the middle. The Scarlet finds Alex Cuthbert superbly but the winger's handling isn't his forte and he fails to gather when the tryline beckons.

    "All about the power play up front, Davies had a very simple decision to go right and the winger was in two minds. It was very well organised and executed by Wales. The contrast with these two sides has been the set-piece play, and the power and organisation of the Welsh pack."

    Try - Daviespublished at 59 mins

    Wales 40-9 Uruguay

    That's try number six for Wales. Again, it's a bulldozing surge from the line-out which does the damage and Gareth Davies collects from 3m out and touches down unopposed. Rhys Priestland blooters the conversion, however, dragging his effort wide.

    Great Britain Paralympic shot-putter and discus thrower Aled Davies is among those Wales supporters showing concern at the mounting injury list.

  10. Wales 35-9 Uruguaypublished at 58 mins

    "Wales! Wales!" cry the Wales faithful as the forwards gain acres, barging through blue-shirted men in their side. Uruguay frequently being punished now such is the pressure they're under. Rhys Priestland with another kick to touch... Dan Lydiate replaces Sam Warburton before the line-out forms.

    Poor Gaston Mieres. He's the last line of defence and is gang tackled by men in red, but the Uruguayan does well, sweeping up at the back and holding firm until support arrives. 

  12. Wales 35-9 Uruguaypublished at 56 mins

    Bath-bound outside-half Rhys Priestland has made a few mistakes in this match, but five times he has attempted a conversion, five times he has been successful.

  14. Replacement - Allen injuredpublished at 54 mins

    Wales 35-9 Uruguay

    Cory Allen is the latest Welsh injury concern. The centre's legs tackled in the tackle and the Cardiff Blues man, the hat-trick man, is gingerly making his way from the field. That doesn't look too good, either. Lloyd Williams takes his place. If you're Welsh fit and healthy and available for the next five weeks it's probably best you give Warren Gatland a call.

  15. Wales 35-9 Uruguaypublished at 54 mins

    Uruguay make a rare trip into the Welsh half and for a short period they threaten... Joaquin Prada making a barnstorming run... Wales being made to work harder than they thought they'd have to.

    "Sloppy defence, but Gareth Davies is renowned for this kind of work, he's exceptionally quick. Amos is very sharp, but great to see Davies back to his attacking best from the lineout."

    "That is what Gareth Davies can do for you, he is so explosive and times the pass well, Hallam Amos has good speed and that was a great support line from the winger."

    Try - Amos; Priestland conpublished at 49 mins

    Wales 35-9 Uruguay

    There's no doubting it - that is a try. Gareth Davies, snipping and snapping, cutting loose and sets Hallam Amos free for his first try of the match. Under the posts the winger strolls and Rhys Priestland doesn't miss conversions from in front of the uprights. Simple but effective.

    Wales's forwards surge forward from the line-out and from the side Justin Tipuric emerges with the ball but he looses possession as he grounds the ball, a uruguay defender just getting a hand to it, and that's another error from the men in red.

    "You have to be clinical, but Rhys Priestland has made two basic mistakes since half-time. He'll be disappointed - and so will Warren Gatland."
