Uruguay has been plotting ways to contain New Zealand at the Rugby World Cup on Thursday in Lyon. Even so, the Uruguayan players can’t help but reveal their inner fan boys at the prospect of facing the All Blacks for the first time.

Both teams go into their last pool game in quarterfinal contention, though New Zealand is a lot closer to clinching than Uruguay. New Zealand needs a win with a four-tries bonus point. Uruguay’s minimum requirement is to beat New Zealand by 80 points. “It is very difficult to set a goal in terms of the result against a great team,” Vilaseca says. “This team is prepared to fight the All Blacks when we can, where we can. It is our last bullet, before our World Cup is over.”
