  1. Coach's view

    Fiji 47-15 Uruguay

    Uruguay coach Pablo Lemoine: "I am really proud of my team, it was a fantastic performance but we made two or three mistakes which cost us. It is fantastic we broke the record and scored the try. I think we were unlucky not to score more.

    On the red card of Agustín Ormaechea: "I watched the TMO and I did not see anything there, we will have too wait for the result of the disciplinary officials.

    On the England game: "We will try and play a tough game like we always do and do our best.

  3. Fiji 47-15 Uruguay

    Uruguay head coach Pablo Lemoine tells ITV Sport that he is "really proud" of his teams.

    He is a remarkably quiet composed guy on camera after all his delighted hollering and hooping in the coaches box during the match.

  4. Fiji 47-15 Uruguay

    I don't think that the friction between the two teams in the final 15 really overshadowed the game. I found it all heartily entertaining...

  5. Record crowd

    Stadium MKGetty Images

     A stadium record 30,048 people attended tonight's match at Stadium MK.

    Bear in mind that Sunday's Merseyside derby drew 39,598.

    And this was Fiji v Uruguay. On a Tuesday night.

    Incredible.

    Fiji 47-15 Uruguay (Nadolo, con Nadolo)

    Nemani Nadolo is a bull of a man to take down in a one-on-one head-on situation. The Fiji wing busts through the tired tackle of Joaquin Prada to stroll in and then adds the extras with the final kick of the match.

  8. Fiji 40-15 Uruguay

    Rodrigo Silva gets a toe in as the ball pops out of the back of the Fiji scrum. Fijji tidy up behing their own try line.

    And they try and run it!  

    Glorious gloves-off bareknuckle rugby - both teams throwing massive haymakers looking for the final try.

  9. Fiji 40-15 Uruguay

    Uruguay put together 11 phases in possibly their most sustained passage of play in the match so far.

    They do not make much impression on the Fiji defence though.

    Plenty of adventure though. Full-back Gaston Mieres rescues a ball off the touchline and just avoids being smeared into next week by Nemani Nadolo before Joaquin Prada darts though a hole.

    He has lost the ball on the floor though.

  10. Fiji 40-15 Uruguay

    Fourteen v fourteen as it stands, tiring legs and two teams keen to throw the ball about.

    This is going to be a busy last 10 minutes.

  11. Fiji 40-15 Uruguay

    Fiji Asaeli Tikoirotuma decks Uruguay centre Joaquin Prada with a big shoulder with the ball a good 10 metres away.

    He is a lucky boy to avoid yellow. It was very similar to the offence that earned England's Owen Farrell yellow against Australia.

    Things are getting increasingly feisty.

    "Work with me now. The boys need your leadership," JP Doyle pleads with Uruguay skipper Santiago Vilaseca.

  12. Red card

    Fiji 40-15 Uruguay

    Agustín Ormaechea gets involved in a little push and shove in the aftermath of the score.

    Referee JP Doyle decides that he has done enough to earn a second yellow card and his marching orders.

    Campese Ma'afu - the target of Ormaechea's aggro - is also shown yellow. Rather harsh on both counts for me.

    Fiji 40-15 Uruguay (Murimurivalu, con Nadolo)

    Fiji run the ball straight back from kick-off in a flurry of angles and series of deft offloads. Uruguay are tackling gamely but stopping the charge is like trying to pin mercury to a board.

    Kini Murimurivalu ploughs over  for the score.

    Fiji 33-15 Uruguay (Cavubati, con Nadolo)

    Replacement second row Tevita Cavubati shunts his way over from close range after good work from Vereniki Goneva.

    It then gets a little fruity as Cavubati reacts to wing Rodrigo Silva's belated attempt to get his arm under the ball.

    Everyone eventually calms down and Nemani Nadolo adds the extras.

  15. Fiji 26-15 Uruguay

    Fiji are pressing for another score.

    They are relying on brawn rather than flair.

    Alexander Robertson: Got the Fiji Uruguay game on and tuned in time to see that fantastic rugby leading to the second Uruguay try. Brilliant to see.

  17. Replacement

    Fiji 26-15 Uruguay

    A change at scrum-half for Fiji with the lively Nemia Kenatale swapped out for Henry Seniloli.

    Fiji 26-15 Uruguay (Ormaechea, missed con Ormaechea)

    My word.

    Limbs are flying all over the shop in the Uruguayan coaches boxes to greet their side's second score.

    A frustrated Fiji push their luck, throwing a mispass that goes to ground and Andres Vilaseca hacks in behind.

    Fiji scamper back to try and stem the bleeding, but can only hold up Uruguay momentarily before Agustín Ormaechea gets his head up and spots a corridor of space down the blind side and slides in.

    Ormaechea's conversion attempt bounces away off the top of the crossbar.

    Christian Evans: If I was playing rugby against Nadolo and he was coming towards me I'd just drop the ball at his feet and leg it.

  20. Fiji 26-10 Uruguay

    Uruguay tick up over 50 tackles. The light blue shirts are packed tight to the fringes of the breakdown, soaking up the Fiji heavy artillery rolling in.

    They made Wales look rather dull in their World Cup opener and they are blunting Fiji so far in this second half.
