    Of course the coaching team needs to be changed. 4 yrs in and players don't know the pattern and style of play.

    Jack Nowell might have switched wing, after Anthony Watson was replaced by Mike Brown, but the result is the same for the Exeter flyer. Try time. After Danny Care is clobbered by a loose Uruguayan forearm, England go wide to the right, quick hands teeing up Nowell for his second of the evening. George Ford still can't find his range with the boot, sliding his kick from the touchline past the near post.

    Mike Brown, just moments after entering the action, is penalised for a knock-on, just before Alex Goode crossed. Easy decision for the officials.

    Here's one of the three tries that Matt Dawson demanded (see below). Or is it? TMO time...

    "I want at least another three tries in the last 15 minutes from England."

    Nope - Uruguay are not celebrating a try. Not yet anyway. England hold firm as the Uruguayans run out of ideas in the England 22 and are eventually penalised by the referee. England survive.

    England have not been forced into much manful defending this evening - as the tackle count below shows - but they are now. Uruguay press for the try-line, England are scrabbling back. The South Americans would celebrate a score here like they have won the whole thing.

    Daily Telegraph rugby correspondent Mick Cleary agrees with Matt Dawson that Henry Slade should have been seen at this tournament before now...

    Try - England 43-3 Uruguaypublished at 60 mins

    Nick Easter, missed con George Ford

    Oh hello! Nick Easter has a hat-trick. The veteran number eight lurks with intent at the back of the England maul, shielded by Quins team-mate Danny Care before launching himself over the whitewash. George Ford is a little rusty from the tee, kicking well wide as he acts up in Owen Farrell's absence.

    And that conversion - his fourth of the evening - is Owen Farrell's last action. The Lancashire-born centre receives warm applause as he is replaced by Jonathan Joseph.

    Like a knife through hot butter. Danny Care scurries down the left flank, throws a cheeky dummy, and offloads to the supporting Jack Nowell. The scrum-capped Exeter wing coasts in to join his club-mate Henry Slade on the try-sheet. Owen Farrell rediscovers his kicking touch to add the extras from the touchline.

    "That fella Slade has to be in the team. End of. You have incredible talent at your fingertips, Mr Lancaster, Mr Farrell, Mr Catt and Mr Rowntree. Any other team would be itching to have that talent in the side."

    Alright Matt Dawson, calm down. You've just proved your point. Henry Slade shows why he is so highly-rated, having the vision to charge down Agustin Ormaechea's kick before showing footballing skills that David Beckham would be proud of before touching down.

    "I could quite easily have a rant here because every former player sees Henry Slade as potentially world-class. New Zealand and Australia would have him in the side. He's that good."

    Anthony Watson has now scored eight Test tries this year, the most by any player.

    South Africa's Bryan Habana (who scored a hat-trick against the USA on Wednesday) is second with seven tries, though he may add to that when the Springboks play Wales in the quarter-finals.
