What a game that was and the crowd in Kamaishi were treated to a phenomenal World Cup upset there as Uruguay overcame Fiji.
That’s just Uruguay’s third win in World Cup history and by far their biggest with no disrespect to Spain and Georgia.
Fiji takes two bonus points from it, but their quarter-final hopes are as good as gone…
SOCIAL REACTION:
Feels like the RWC has really come alive now.

One of the greatest ever World Cup stories. My goodness, Uruguay beat Fiji. And in Kamaisha of all places, where they built a stadium to honour those killed in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami @ITVRugby pic.twitter.com/bivF1Rbykt
