Brotherly cup in Montevideo
Chile play Uruguay in Montevideo on Saturday as part of the South American championship. They play for the Copa Hermandad.
The three CONSUR (Confederación Sudamericana de Rugby) countries now all play for a cup – this one, the Copa Los Andes when Argentina play Chile, and the Copa Río de la Plata when Argentina play Uruguay.
