Did anyone sit down for Portugal vs Fiji last night?
What an epic win for the Pork & Cheese.
Tell you what, there are a couple of backs in the Portuguese side that look very skillful.
Fiji tried their best to run over the much smaller Portuguese players but the only ground they ever made was from breaks in open play. Portugal pushed Fiji back from their line many times.
Portugal never tried to move the ball upfield with their forwards at all. They kept swinging it. Over and over. Were it not for the efforts of the Portuguese 7(potentially the most retarded rugby player I've ever seen), they'd have had much more success.
For a minnow side like them, the hands on display was fantastic. Their 9 was clearing quickly and everybody was passing so accurately.
Despite the game being expansive from minute 1 until the final whistle, the knocks by Portugal were on par with much better teams playing far more conservatively.
It makes one wonder why much better teams are so petrified of actually playing rugby.
