Australia hold what should be an unassailable 31-3 lead over Uruguay at half time in the Rugby World Cup Pool A match at Villa Park.
It only took until the seventh minute for Australia to lead, as the power of their forwards pushed Uruguay back before Sean McMahon escaped with the ball to score a simple try.
Almost immediately from kickoff Joseph Tomane grabbed Australia's second try, with Quade Cooper kicking the extras.
Cooper was then sent to the sin bin in the 15th minute and Felipe Berchesi took advantage of his misdirection to kick three points for Uruguay.
However, Australia then began to assert their dominance, with Dean Mumm scoring a simple try before Henry Speight made sure of the bonus point with a try of his own.
In the 36th minute, Ben McCalman scored under the posts and Cooper kicked an easy conversion to give Australia a mammoth half-time lead.
