On Day 19 of the Rugby World Cup, two teams ought to finally walk off a pitch smiling.
The matches on Tuesday just happen to pair up four winless teams: Canada vs. Romania in Leicester, followed by Fiji vs. Uruguay in Milton Keynes.
The Fijians are considered the unluckiest.
Stuck in Pool A with Australia, England, and Wales - two former champions and a two-time semifinalist - the Fijians lost to all three of the higher-ranked teams but acquitted themselves so well that Wales coach Warren Gatland, for one, believed they would have been a strong contender for the quarterfinals if they had been in another pool.
That's a little consolation for Fiji coach John McKee.
"Looking at the teams we came up against and looking at the other pools, hypothetically we may have had a pathway to the quarterfinals, or at least an easier pathway," he said. "Having said that, all of the pools are tricky, and it has been a credit to a number of the Tier Two nations the way they have played."
He said he couldn't fault his players' effort and performances.
"It is a credit to everyone involved, albeit frustrating that we haven't got a result in at least one of those matches," he said. "We came here with high ambitions and wanted to get one or two scalps in the first three games. But that doesn't take away from this last game against Uruguay.
"We will need to be at our best to beat them. The players are very motivated to finish the tournament on a high note."
Here's a look at Tuesday's matches:
CANADA vs. ROMANIA (3-2 overall, 2-0 in RWC), Leicester, 1545 GMT
Canada will finish the tournament as it started, without captain and No. 8 Tyler Ardron. He was a late starter in the tournament because of a knee injury which sidelined him for nearly two months. Then last Thursday against France, he was forced off after 19 minutes.
Make Ardron another who has suffered from Canada's compact scheduling: Romania will be its fourth game in 17 days.
Canada wasn't in the running against Ireland or France, but had Italy on the ropes. Winger DTH Van Der Merwe has turned heads, and not just for scoring tries in all three pool games, and five tries in his last four tests.
Canada has made seven changes for the match, and squad injury replacement James Pritchard could appear in his fourth World Cup if he's summoned from the reserves.
This is Canada's last chance to keep alive its streak of leaving every World Cup with at least a draw.
Romania, last in the pool, still holds hope of finishing third and automatically qualifying for the 2019 Cup. To achieve that, the Romanians have to beat Canada, then Italy next weekend in its pool finale.
"The Canadian game is a semifinal for us. It's that important," coach Lynn Howells said. "The players have put in a lot of hard work and this is what they deserve."
Romania has also made seven changes, for the eighth time in its last nine matches, and prop Mihaita Lazar and lock Valentin Poparlan will play their 50th tests.
FIJI vs URUGUAY (1-0 overall, 0-0 in RWC), Milton Keynes, 1900 GMT
Uruguay has been looking forward to this match probably more than Fiji. Where Fiji had hoped to knock over one of the heavyweights in its pool, Uruguay had targeted Fiji.
"It is our best opportunity (to win) and, without disrespect to Fiji, it is the only Tier Two team we will play," Uruguay coach Pablo Lemoine said.
Los Teros have an idea of what's coming: They hosted the Fiji Warriors — Fiji's second-string team — in May-June, and were beaten 30-22 and 42-22.
Those results don't suggest Uruguay will get a precious win on Tuesday, but then that would exceed even their expectations.
"The truth is that we don't think about winning here, but about showing our game, and if we win it will be as a consequence of doing things well," captain Santiago Vilaseca said. "We are working on our defence in general, and were doing so even before the tournament, as that was always a challenge. With Fiji we are looking to take things up a level."
