The Welwitschias led 20-12 at half-time in what was a valiant performance off the back of their 96-0 humbling by hosts France last week. However a sin-bin period after the break cost Namibia 14 points as Los Teros inflicted their 25th straight loss at World Cups.
Uruguay captain Andres Vilaseca said: “We had to win and I am very proud. We’ve been working so hard, the whole group deserve the victory. Uruguay only had three World Cup wins in history, today we got the fourth.”
It took just 59 seconds for Namibia to score the opening try as a sloppy pass by Felipe Etcheverry was intercepted by winger Gerswin Mouton, who streaked away to score under the posts giving Tiaan Swanepoel an easy conversion.
