Nemia Kenatale scored Fiji’s second try from a scrum just 5 metres from Uruguay’s tryline.
Fiji’s third five pointer was again from a penalty try.
Fiji’s scrum dominated throughout the first half which gave them a lot of penalties and a try.
The fourth try was scored by lanky forward, Leone Nakarawa from a Nemani Nadolo counter attack.
Uruguay’s try came from their hooker, Carlos Arboleya after a well-executed move by them.
The Fijian defence was scattered which resulted in Uruguay’s first try since the 2003 World Cup.
