Your support makes all the difference.Wales will look to cement first place in Pool D at the Rugby World Cup on Sunday when they take on Uruguay at the Kumamoto Stadium.
Warren Gatland has made no fewer than 13 changes to his starting line-up for the Pool D finale, with a quarter-final against France the reward if they can avoid any shock upset against the South Americans.
Uruguay have already shown this World Cup that they are capable of punishing any team who does not take them seriously, having beaten Fiji in a thrilling encounter in Kamaishi earlier in the tournament.
But even though Gatland has freshened up his squad, Wales go into the match as overwhelming favourites and all they need to top the pool is a draw, which would see them overtake Australia on their head-to-head record.
Uruguay meanwhile can overtake Georgia to avoid finishing bottom of the group if they can secure two match points, while a shock win could even see them finish in third and secure their place at the 2023 Rugby World Cup in the process.
