Wales beat Uruguay to set up shoot-out for semis
Wales U20 set up a shoot-out with South Africa for the Junior World Championship semi-finals after running seven tries past Uruguay.
The Junior Boks take on Georgia at 17:30 BST and victory by the champions would effectively make the round three meeting with Wales a quarter-final.
Head coach Whiffin retained just two members of his starting line-up from the win against Georgia to give minutes to the wider squad.
The rotation and new combinations, plus testing conditions that required water breaks, understandably led to a scrappy start but Wales opened the scoring against the run of play in the 13th minute.
Emanuel, brought on early due to an injury to wing Dylan Scott, was worked over down the left after a break by captain Deian Gwynne.
Wales were reduced to 14 men when lock Osian Williams was yellow-carded for a late tackle but still stretched their lead through hooker Thomas from a driving line-out.
Number eight Ridgway was rewarded for a bright start when he was in support to finish off after a jinking run by centre Jack Hoskins in the 30th minute.
The bonus point was secured before the break when Emanuel finished powerfully from close range, fly-half Lloyd Lucas adding his third conversion for a 26-0 lead.
