Follow the latest updates live from the Rugby World Cup as Wales look to cement top spot in Pool D in their match against Uruguay.

Victory is a must for Warren Gatland’s side if they want to avoid a quarter-final with England, as topping Pool D would guarantee Wales a last-eight encounter against France next weekend.

Two points will be enough to ensure they finish ahead of Australia, but with Gatland making 13 changes for the match against the South Americans, another World Cup upset cannot be ruled out. Follow the live action below.
