2015 Rugby World Cup Team Preview: Uruguay

Head Coach, Pablo Lemoine, has named an inexperienced side for this year’s Rugby World Cup.

None of the 31-man squad has ever played at a Rugby World Cup, and only four members of the squad ply their professional trade in Europe.

Lock Forward Santiago Vilaseca will captain the Los Teros side.

Uruguay has the hardest task of getting over four of the best 10 sides in the world in their pool - England, Australia, Wales and Fiji

World Cup Prediction:

The Los Teros side will be victim to some of the biggest thrashings handed out at this year’s Rugby World Cup and unfortunately will not register a win.

That said, their only chance to score may come against the Fijians if the Flying lads are off their game on the day.

My guess is that Uruguay will lose their matches by an average of 50 points.

Uruguay’s 2015 Rugby World Cup Squad:

Forwards: Alejo Corral, Carlos Arboleya, Oscar Duran, Mateo Sanguinetti, Mario Sagario, Nicolas Klappenbach, German Kessler, Mathias Palomeque, Santiago Vilaseca, Franco Lamanna, Jorge Zerbino, Agustin Alonso, Fernando Bascou, Matias Beer, Juan Manuel Gaminara, Alejandro Nieto, Juan de Freitas, Diego Magno.

Backs: Agustin Ormaechea, Alejo Duran, Felipe Berchesi, Manuel Blengio, Andres Vilaseca, Joaquin Prada, Alberto Roman, Francisco Bulanti, Santiago Gibernau, Leandro Leivas, Rodrigo Silva, Gaston Mieres, Jeronimo Etcheverry.
