Uruguay will be looking to spring another Rugby World Cup shock when they take on Georgia this morning.

Fiji were stunned in Pool D on Wednesday when the South Americans achieved the greatest result in their rugby history with a 30-27 victory in Kamaishi.

Although qualification seems unlikely at best, Uruguay will be looking to give another good account of themselves.

Georgia lost their opening game to Wales 43-14 on Monday, but they produced a dogged second-half performance in which they shared 28 points with Warren Gatland's side.

At 11th place in the world rugby rankings, they are six spots higher than Uruguay and lead Los Teros 3-2 in their head-to-head meetings.

What time is it?

Georgia vs Uruguay kicks off on Sunday 29 September at 2.15pm Japan Standard Time, which is 6.15am BST.
