LYON, France, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Uruguay savoured their victory over Namibia on Wednesday all the more as they were well aware the opportunity to add another World Cup success might not come any time soon. Uruguay has only had three wins in the World Cup, the fourth win was really important. "Now we are going to enjoy the week and then play the best team in the world (New Zealand on Oct. 5). We don't know if we will have a chance to play in the World Cup again." Uruguay coach Esteban Meneses said his team had prepared to make history.

LILLE, France, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Uruguay captain Andres Vilaseca hailed his team’s fighting spirit in their 27-12 World Cup loss to hosts France on Thursday and believes his side will grow in confidence following their eye-catching performance. France led by eight points going into the final 10 minutes as Uruguay pushed them all the way. In the end their inaccuracy let France off the hook, but it was still a performance to savour for Vilaseca. Uruguay coach Esteban Meneses said the key was not to build on this performance and not make it a one-off. France top Pool A with eight points from their two games while Uruguay have a second fixture against Italy in Nice next Wednesday.
