THE LOWDOWN
NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand made it back-to-back wins as they hammered Italy in superb fashion last time out and will wrap up second spot in the pool if they can account for Uruguay. This could be another one-sided affair having scored an incredible 96 points against the Italians.
URUGUAY
Uruguay earned a first win of the Rugby World Cup as they got the better of Namibia in their third game but now face the daunting task of taking on New Zealand. The All Blacks have been in superb form with the ball and will pose a huge test for the Uruguayan defence.
THE PREDICTION
New Zealand were far too good for Italy last week and will look to seal their spot in the quarter-finals as they take on Uruguay. It is a huge task for the underdogs here and it is hard to see anything other than a huge win for the All Blacks as they look to build on the 167 points that they have scored in their last two outings.
BETTING TIP: New Zealand -66
