URUGUAY - WORLD CUP RUGBY 2003

Aussie Stadium was host to the greatest victory for Uruguay in the 2003 World Cup Rugby. Two underdogs - Uruguay and Georgia battling it out to avoid being bottom of the ladder in a group that included England, one of the competition favourites. The crowd dressed up for the occassion - with the largest Uruguayan population based in Sydney, there was no chance they would miss the opportunity to arrive in their "celeste" outfits, cheering on a team that consists mainly of amateurs - Final score: 24-12
