THE LOWDOWN
URUGUAY
Uruguay blew a 10-point half-time lead in their clash with Italy as they conceded 31 unanswered points in the second half of that contest and they will have been hugely disappointed by that effort. However, this is a great chance to bounce back as they take on a Namibia side that they should be beating.
NAMIBIA
Namibia were hammered by hosts France last week as they conceded 96 points without reply. That is three big defeats in succession for the Namibians but they will hope to bow out of the tournament on a high by at least competing in this final clash.
THE PREDICTION
Uruguay looked good in the first half of their encounter with Italy but fell away in the second half as they succumbed to a frustrating defeat. They will be eager to right the wrongs of that second half and against a Namibia side that have conceded 197 points in their three games to date, this is a brilliant opportunity for the Uruguayans to claim their first win.
BETTING TIP: Uruguay -18
