England set to play Uruguay ahead of tournament exit

Large numbers of England fans will be backing Wales now that their team is heading out of the Rugby World Cup, according to a survey commissioned by bookmaker William Hill.

Of those surveyed, 24% said they would be following Wales for the rest of the tournament.

England are due to play Uruguay in Manchester late on Saturday, in what will be their final match of the 2015 Rugby World Cup, but the fixture has lost much of its appeal for fans since England's defeat by Australia.

Wales, meanwhile, are due to play Australia at Twickenham at 4.45pm, and appear able to rely on a good deal of support from England fans.

Prince Harry turned down the chance to back Wales in the Rugby World Cup following England's early exit.

Asked if, like his brother, he would be supporting the Welsh, who beat England 28-25 in their Pool A match, the prince replied: "There's lots of people to support now."

He also expressed his disappointment about England, saying: "It is a great shame for England but it's still going to be the best World Cup ever."

Prince Harry made the comments as he visited Sandy Park in Exeter for the Pool C World Cup match between Namibia and Georgia.
