Wales will respect semi-professional Uruguay

    SOUNDBITE (English) Luke Charteris, Wales:

    "You have to give them more respect than that. For a team, particularly like Uruguay, where the players are semi-professional, when you look at their games against Japan - they were coming together a week or two weeks before that and had no time to prepare. So I think they would have made massive improvements by having this month, two months, together - especially those teams who aren't fully professional. They can make massive gains. Obviously we have to go there and be confident of winning and trying to get a bonus point. But certainly they will be expecting more from them that probably they have shown so far."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Luke Charteris, Wales:

    (On England):

    "I thought they were good. I thought they were clinical. They got the bonus point win which is what I am sure what they would have been after. I thought Fiji looked really good in patches as well. I think probably the conditions didn't help them and their style of play but I thought they were really good on certain elements of their set piece and particularly in the breakdown and that sort of thing. Basically it just reiterated what we already know - it's going to be two very tough games when we get there."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Luke Charteris, Wales:

    (On Television Match Official):

    "It is frustrating. It is a fast game. You have got to play with tempo. Particularly for us - that suits our style of play. It's always hard. First game. They have got new directives and And I think they have got a few examples where it is important and there were just interventions. And there were probably one or two where they could have easily just played on. It's finding that balance I suppose. To be fair to them, there are new directives and new things for them as well so as the games go on it will go a bit smoother."
