[RWCQ] Uruguay vs. United States. 1st Leg, 22/03/14

Yes, Uruguay look to be tiring now

They seem to be getting sloppy as well, they nearly gave up another score with some bad passing bar a cover tackle that saved their bacon.

Yes, Uruguay look to be tiring now

this is the difference now between Tier 2 teams and Tier 3 teams. All the Tier 2 teams are run as High Performance programs and have a healthy smattering of professionals to fill the holes, while not all the players play for professional teams in Europe around 2/3 do and the rest compete in top level domestic competitions and are part of high performance units so their fitness is far higher.

That penalty miss could be the dagger.

Some pics:

Americans are cutting through them like butter now. The difference between professional and amateur teams is telling in 2nd half.

Yeah but is very meritorious for Uruguayans have endured it for 50 minutes at a professional rugby team. Much courage from them

That penalty miss could be the dagger.

So stupid going for the penalty, should of kicked for the corner and gone for the maul. Maybe get the momentum back.

 

[Jaguares]

Good scrum by Uruguay. Here in South America is very important the scrum, much training is that part of the game. So Argentina has brought many good forwards. Uruguay has a similar system of training, so they are dominating the USA package even though they are professionals.

 

[Canadian_Rugger]

Uruguay still has a great scrum

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Damn strong scrum indeed.

 

[Jaguares]

Yellow card for Wallace (USA)

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

intelligent try by Uruguay.

Scully went on the flank from the wing the scrum wheeled and there was huge space on the blindside because of that and was well played.

 

[Jaguares]

Try to Uruguay by Agustin Ormaechea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah baby!

I asked the same question, if you are following the ESPN in Spanish, the commentators said there was no reason to deny try for Uruguay and it was a waste of time the review

 

[Jaguares]

come on uruguay!

Now the Americans are 5 meters from the Uruguay's ingoal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pockets]

The USA have gone back to playing like they did in the first half :/

Got lucky with that knock-on.

 

[Jaguares]

Now scrum for USA near of the Uruguay's ingoal, 80 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!
