RWC Week 5: Fiji v Portugal

[Bovidae]

A fantastic result when you see the faces of the Portuguese fans.

[Donsteppa]

Stats - basically Portugal behind everywhere but the scoreboard.

The team that wins the Final won't look any happier than the Portuguese.

[W32]

Brilliant result! Fantastic scenes !!

[Stargazer]

Portugal also jump over Georgia on the table.

[mariner4life]

This is the best pool in the cup by far!

Great result. Absolute scenes

[Yeetyaah]

Fucking unreal

[stodders]

What was impressive about Portugal was how they stood up to the Fiji physicality. Give these guys some meaningful games and time together and they will go well. Awesome win Portugal!

[Yeetyaah]

Best minnow team I have ever seen at a RWC

[sparky]

Not sure about that. I've ben quite impressed with Uruguay's and Chile's efforts as well.

[Tordah]

Portugal were fun to watch, played really Well. @MiketheSnow the only one who always believed in them, haha

[Stargazer]

Was this Portugal's first RWC?

[MiketheSnow]

Told you boys
Sorry they couldn’t win by more to put Australia through

Fiji are the dumbest team in World Rugby

[nostrildamus]

if Portugal get to play a NZ team of any description in Portugal I'd be tempted to go on tour. Haven't been there in over a quarter of a century but I bet the seafood and alcohol is still on point.

[Stargazer]

@nostrildamus Wouldn't be a bad opponent for the Māori ABs. I'd love them to do a tour to Europe and play some of these tier 2/3 teams.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer nah we have played them before at RWC, was it 2007?

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer for me its the style of rugby they play and they know and understand where their strengths are and the skill level in the backs is sensational and they have something you cant coach ,Pace
Chile and Uruguay have been good ,but this Portuguese side are an exciting side to watch

[Gunner]

Some of these WC results show us how competitive international rugby could be… if only it were a level playing field.

IRB get your heads out of your arse, grow some balls and create a competition that allows these teams to play consistently at a higher level.
