Preview: Spain to play Uruguay

By Paul Dobson
Wednesday 16 Nov 2011

The Teros of Uruguay have flown over the Atlantic to Europe on a two-Test tour. They beat Portugal 16-9 on Sunday and play Spain on Saturday at Estadio Nacional Complutense in Madrid.

Spain went to the 1999 Rugby World Cup, the only time it has made it, and was in the same pool as Uruguay. The two teams met at Netherdale, Galashiels, in Scotland and the Teros beat the Leones 37-15, which meant that Spain ended last in the pool.

After beating Portugal in Lisbon, Uruguay are probably the favourites for this encounter as Portugal are two places above Spain on the log of the European Nations Cup.

That said, Spain beat Portugal 25-10 in March this year. On the IRB rankings, Uruguay are 19th, Spain 23. It could well be a close match in Madrid.

Spain have several players out injured – Jon Inausti, Fabien Rofes, Manuel García, Sébastien Rouet and Mathieu Peluchon.

They also have several new caps – David Gugernadze, Mathieu Cidré, Nick Marshal, Pierre Belzunce and Adrien Ayestarán.

The teams:

Spain (squad): Martín Heredia (CRC Madrid), Juan Cano (Cisneros), Tom Parker (Ordizia), Pedro Martín (Ordizia), Nicholas Marshall (Bera Bera), Glen Rolls (Vrac Valladolid), Pablo Feijoo (El Salvador), Ryan le Roux (UE Santboiana), Jesús Moreno (Limoges, France), Gauthier Gibouin (Périgueux, France), Anthony Pradalie (Périgueux, France) Adrien Ayestarán (Périgueux, France, Jesús Recuerda (Lille, France), Charly Malie (Béziers, France), Sébassen Ascarat (Auch, France), Beñat Auzqui (Tyrosse, France), Mathieu Visensang (Tyrosse, France), Mathieu Roca (Aurillac, France), Maun Auzqui (St Médard en Jalles, France), Damien Elgoyhen (St Médard en Jalles, France), Mathieu Cidré (Carcassonne, France), David Gurgenazde (Carcassonne, France), Pierre Belzunce (Colomiers, France), César Sempéré (Northampton, England).
