KUMAMOTO, JAPAN - Wales set up a Rugby World Cup quarter-final with Six Nations rivals France as they topped Pool D with a far-from-perfect 35-13 win over minnows Uruguay on Sunday .
But in a match that should have been straightforward for the Six Nations champions, Wales - who played a bruising game with Fiji only four days earlier - struggled to establish their dominance. "We had a couple of guys who were pretty sore after the Fiji game - two or three of them - but they should be back training in a couple of days so we should have a full complement to be able to choose from."
Uruguay, who shocked Fiji in their tournament opener, threatened an even bigger upset when they trailed by only one point at half-time. Errors cost Amos Gatland, who made 13 changes to the side that started against Fiji on Wednesday, could not have been impressed with the high error-count. Wales were unable to score again in the half, blowing another scoring opportunity when Hadleigh Parkes and Hallam Amos combined in a 50-metre run only for the final pass to float forward.
