Uruguay

Profiles of the 2015 Rugby World Cup teams.

Rank outsiders Uruguay have competed in two previous World Cups (1999 and 2003) and won games at both of these tournaments.

Their squad includes four European-based players, who will bring experience and a level of professionalism to the team.

They are in Pool A at the World Cup alongside England, Australia, Wales and Fiji, but are unlikely to have the power to beat any of those teams.
