A clinical performance from Spain saw Los Teritos humbled at the Junior World Championship on Sunday. Spain scored all the tries in the match which they won 57-6. The result sends Uruguay into the battle to avoid the wooden spoon against the USA on Friday.
The Uruguayan points came early; Juan Francisco Pereira landed two penalties, including scoring the opening points of the match. It was too little as Spain played all the rugby and Uruguay’s defense proved to be feeble with the Europeans running in nine tries.
The memorable Spanish performance includes doubles to both Oriol Marsinyac Garcia and Marcal Carreras Cuesta. Malakai Hafoka Toca converted six tries. Spain’s performance came with one yellow card compared to two conceded by the South Americans.
