Uruguay take last World Cup spot

Uruguay beat Russia 36-27 in Montevideo on Saturday to snatch the last qualification spot for the 2015 World Cup in England.
Although they lost the first leg in Moscow 22-21, the South Americans got the result they needed to qualify for their first World Cup since 2003.
They will now line up in a daunting Pool A alongside the hosts, twice former winners Australia, Wales and Fiji.
"We qualified for the World Cup because we wanted it more, we deserve it for all the hard work we put in over the last four years and because on the day we managed to understand what was required to win," said Uruguay coach Pablo Lemoine.
"This is a huge day in our rugby history and one that we must enjoy knowing that from now on the hard work will be with a clear goal -- to enjoy the World Cup.”
Although the winning margin seemed comfortable, it was anything but as Uruguay turned around at the break trailing 17-12.
Fly-halves Felipe Berchesi and Iurii Kushnarev traded penalties as every time one team closed in on the opposing tryline, the other side infringed.
But at 12-12, a quickly taken tap penalty from Kushnarev allowed Aleksandr Ianushkin to dive over in the corner and give Russia the lead at half-time.
Kushnarev landed a penalty soon after the restart to push Russia's lead out to 20-12 but that heralded a period of Uruguayan domination in which the hosts scored 21 unanswered points.
Joaquin Prada broke several tackles inside the Russian 22 to go under the posts, with Berchesi converting.
Uruguay then got a rumbling maul going close to the Russian line and Alejo Corral touched down to give them the lead. Again Berchesi notched the extras.
Russia pressed the self-destruct button as their full-back knocked on just five yards from their own line and from the resulting scrum, the ball was spun out to Augustin Ormaechea to scythe over.
Berchesi's conversion pushed their lead out to 33-20 and when winger Denis Simplikevich was sent to the sinbin for a late aerial challenge, Russia's hopes appeared to have gone up in smoke.
Yet almost immediately, Vasiliy Artemyev dived over in the corner and Kushnarev scored the tricky conversion, leaving Russia a converted try away from winning the game.
But Berchesi scored his fifth penalty to seal Uruguay's third appearance at the finals.
