Uruguay squad for Tbilisi Cup

Having completed recent home internationals against USA, Argentina, and Fiji, Los Teros now travel to Georgia to compete in the World Rugby Tbilisi Cup. The South Americans will play three matches taking on development teams of both Ireland and Italy in addition to a full test match against the host nation.

The four team tournament is to provide both Uruguay and Georgia with vital World Cup preparation while young and fringe players from both Ireland and Italy will have an opportunity to push for future opportunities, and perhaps a surprise spot in the senior squad. Match days for the fixtures are June 13, 17 and 21 with all matches being played at the Avchala Stadium in Tbilisi.
