Berchesi back at flyhalf for Los Teros

Felipe Berchesi has recovered sufficiently from a collarbone problem to start for Uruguay in their final World Cup match against England in Manchester on Saturday. The star flyhalf was outstanding for Los Teros in their opening matches before being forced out of the match against Fiji.

The only other change to the starting team sees Mateo Sanguinetti take over from Alejo Corral at loosehead prop. Corral is instead named on the bench, and will win his 50th cap for his country when he comes on as a replacement. Agustín Ormaechea has avoided a suspension after being red carded against Fiji, a result of being handed two yellow cards during the match.

Uruguay are almost certain of improving on their only previous result against England, a seismic 111-13 loss during the 2003 World cup in Australia.
