- Australia 45-10 Uruguay
- Two Wallabies players handed yellow cards during the first half
Australia got its 2019 World Cup campaign back on track with a 45-10 victory over Uruguay, but the match was again overshadowed by controversial refereeing decisions. The Wallabies had two players yellow-carded in the first 28 minutes as the intense crackdown on high tackles at this tournament continues unabated.
Australia coach Michael Cheika admitted after the 29-25 defeat to Wales he was “embarrassed” and didn’t understand what the rules around contact were anymore. This match would only have left him feeling even more confused.
