THANKS AND GOODNIGHT!
Be sure to check out our report after New Zealand ran Uruguay ragged in Lyon, and we'll be back at the same time tomorrow for France vs Italy, so you don't want to miss that either.
There's lots more World Cup action coming up over the weekend that we'll be all over but for now, thanks very much for joining us and goodnight!

FULL-TIME! NEW ZEALAND 73-0 URUGUAY
Rampant from New Zealand, Uruguay played their part for 20 minutes but fell away there as their World Cup comes to an end.
170 points in the last two games for the All-Blacks, but can they repeat this in the quarter-final?
77'
TRY! NEW ZEALAND 73-0 URUGUAY
It's a hat-trick for Fainga'anuku! Seven tries for the All Black back-three, and Beaudan nearly put McKenzie in again!
The full-time whistle can't come soon enough for Uruguay.
73'
TRY! NEW ZEALAND 64-0 URUGUAY
I was halfway through typing TRY UPCOMING when Tamaiti Williams crashed over, Uruguay have no answer for the All Blacks. Beaudan Barrett becomes the third Kiwi to score a conversion but it's not all smooth for New Zealand.
Replacement tight-head Fletcher Newell had treatment and looks he's been replaced again by starting loosehead Ofa Tu'ungafasi.
68'
TRY! NEW ZEALAND 59-0 URUGUAY
Easy as you like, Lienert-Brown got the ball out wide and had options either side, chooing to feed Fainga'anuku who grabs his second score. McKenzie converts too.
66'
TRY ANALYSIS - NEW ZEALAND 52-0 URUGUAY
WHAT. A. SCORE. About six passes in three seconds from New Zealand with Christie, Fainga'anuku, McKenzie and Barrett combining to send Jordan over in the corner. Whoever they play in the quarter-final, take note.
It's McKenzie's first conversion too, he breaks out the full smiling assasain routine to hit the converstion.
65'
TRY! NEW ZEALAND 50-0 URUGUAY
It was a great day for New Zealand earlier in the cricket and Jordan brings up the half-century here too.
64'
RECORD-BREAKER REPLACED
Sam Whitelock's just left to an ovation from the Lyon crowd on the day he earned his 150th cap and became the record Rugby World Cup appearance-holder.
Mo'unga has also come off with a pair of Barretts coming on, lock Scott and fly-half Beaudan.
For Uruguay, they've a new-look front row with Sanguinetti, Arbelo and Kessler off for Guillermo Pujadas, Matias Benitez and Ignacio Peculo.
63'
NEW ZEALAND LINEOUT
Mateo Sanguinetti looked every bit the naughty schoolboy as he endured a talking-to from there. The Uruguayan scrum has struggled mightily and if he's penalised again then Sanguinetti will be sent to the bin.
61'
URUGUAY REPLACEMENT
Star scrum-half Santiago Arata is off for veteran Agustin Ormaechea.
60'
DIDN'T LAST LONG
They couldn't make anything of it though, Uruguay really do deserve points today. THen Blackadder just knocked-on in Uruguay's 22 after New Zealand threatened another try but the underdogs aren't out of danger yet.
58'
PENALTY URUGUAY
And that possession will continue for a bit longer, Vaa'i ran into Freitas out of possession there.
57'
URUGUAY IN POSSESSION
Been a while since I've been able to type that. Uruguay have only just ticked into double-figures for carries in the half, as stand-out back-row Bianchi rumbles forwards.
54'
REPLACEMENTS
That was Frizell's last action, he's off along with Cam Roigard and Jordie Barrett for Ethan Blackadder, Finlay Christie and Caleb Clarke.
For Urugua, Santiago Civetta's on for Manuel Diana in the back-row.
53'
TRY ANALYSIS - NEW ZEALAND 45-0 URUGUAY
New Zealand had to go through seven phases in the Uruguay 22 but it didn't matter. Shannon Frizell yanked the ball out of the ruck to McKenzie and you don't stop him from there.
51'
TRY! NEW ZEALAND 43-0 URUGUAY
McKenzie grabs his second, someone's getting treatment so just take a breather!
53'
ALL BLACKS IN AGAIN
It's hard to keep up now! Fainga'anuku trucked the ball up the Uruguay 5m line and New Zealand are just building the phases here.
52'
URUGUAY REPLACEMENT
Felipe Berchesi is on at fly half for another Felipe, Etcheverry.
50'
TRY ANALYSIS - NEW ZEALAND 38-0 URUGUAY
The All Blacks broke down the right from a centre-field scrum and McKenzie made it to 5m out, before they crossed the field in just a few passes, Jordan missing at least four players to find Fainga'anuku in space to score.
Mo'unga hits the conversion this time, from an almost identical place as the last one.
50'
TRY! NEW ZEALAND 36-0 URUGUAY
Fainga'anuku is in this time, New Zealand are running riot.
