The islanders take a shy tour of honour, while the Portuguese connect with their fans to the sound of the national anthem. We leave with this amazing result. The articles will not write themselves!!! Good night !
10:51 PM: 32,223 spectators witnessed the greatest achievement in the history of Portuguese rugby!!! The entire Lobos team storms the field.
10:50 PM: It’s over!!! A wonderful Portuguese victory and Fiji qualified for the quarter-finals
It’s DAX winger Rodrigo Marta who went down after a blitz. On the bench, Mike Tudger is indefensible!!! Samuel Marquez turns and the Portuguese returns to the lead (23-24)!!!
Minute 76: A new penalty kick for Lomani from 45 meters in front of the goalposts to Pesto de Nas;… also passes! Fijians in the quarter-finals, we can write that (23-17)
The former Perpignan player did not miss his last participation and, in general, the World Cup.
73: The Portuguese are logically tired, making more and more mistakes. Lomani seizes the opportunity to pass a penalty kick from 20 meters forward and gives Fiji the advantage (20-17)
Seventy-two: Tuisova comes out to applause after the difficult week she went through
71: Simon Raiwalwe’s men got their hands on the ball again at the end of the game
After a series of regular strikes, the bitch that replaced Ekanifere (it seemed to me) went flat. Lomani does not convert to equalize (17-17).
67: Limping out from behind Cardoso Pinto, the author of a good match, like the Portuguese as a whole
65: Drawing!!! The clearance at the foot of Samuel Marquez hits the spider camera. Ireland’s James Lowe did the same against France during the last Six Nations, if I remember correctly
Sorry, this had to come out.
It’s a rugby-style dodgeball game from the 1920s, with stars Lupine Lepreère and Aimé Cassete.
Realizing the danger, Raiwalwi finally makes changes.
The Lobos push their opponents back, then recover the ball that was “regurgitated” by winger Haposi.
57: A blow to the left shoulder, the Portuguese pole leaves Landes Francisco Fernandes, author of the Lobos’ second attempt and a favorite of the crowd, with his arm in a slingshot amidst the cheers of the stadium
Portuguese fans are becoming more vocal.
Penaltouch for Pacific players, 10 meters from the Lobos line.
52nd place: At the moment, the Fijians have a bonus point with a seven-point loss enough to see them through to the quarter-finals. But honestly, Australians need to start believing that in front of their TV screens
Fifty-one: Portuguese Test!!! The Lobos team quickly took advantage of their numerical superiority to score strongly behind the penalty kick via the left post by Francisco Fernandez!!! Samuel Marquez turns (10-17)
50: From hero to zero? Author of a very strong tackle, Levani Botia has the right to pass through the dugout. The Portuguese had a numerical superiority for (at least) 10 minutes
It was very bad as the Lobos appeared to take advantage of the Fijian panic to get the result. The full-back picks up the ball again and advances up the pitch. If he can’t flatten, the movement bounces back with the attackers and the third line is flattened by Botia! Lomani converts and the Islanders tie the game (10-10).
On the non-existent sideline, the Portuguese recovered the ball perfectly and a well-executed final kick led to a try from Storti, who had already scored a brace against Georgia. Marx turns (3-10)!!!
44: The Lobos are penalized in the huge huddle and the Flying Fijians will be able to free themselves… without finding the touchline. unbelievable !!!
43: The rugby wizards are Portuguese at the moment. Small forward saves the Fijians with the first attempt of the match
42nd Place: Waisi, Fiji captain, right thigh covered in bandages. He won’t miss it any longer.
10:01 PM: Come on, let’s go again! With a penalty kick for Portugal!
9:59 pm: The Portuguese are the first to return to the field
Kava has sedative properties, and that’s definitely not what fellow Weissies need right now.
At the moment, they have two points from the draw and qualify for the quarter-finals, against England, but it is frankly worrying. We’ll see you in a few minutes, time to digest the rugby gravy!
9:46 PM: Nothing came of the party, the Lusitanians broke free, and it was the end of the first half!!!
Well, his team gets the scrum back.
38th place: Portugal tied thanks to Marquez (3-3). And he well deserves it
Back to a new penalty kick for Portugal, directly in front of the goalposts. Apparently Sam Marquez, Elusate of the Lobos, is taking it.
Minute 36: Penalty kick for the Portuguese…an opportunity to take the lead before the end of the first half
34: And now, it is the Portuguese hooker Mike Tudger who clears (slightly) his foot from a distance of 22 metres. The pitch is in heaven, my rugby purists a little less so
33: Storti, the excellent Portuguese winger, tries to break away on the right wing. But the next kick wasn’t necessarily necessary…
Thirty-two: Toulouse, the intercontinental capital of rugby, does not deserve to say “goodbye” to the World Cup with this purification!!!
30: If the Fijians are punished as well… it’s a disaster at the moment
29th: Just writing this is enough for Al Habusi, the 11th resident of the island, to start a slalom and climb 50 metres. For a lost ball, in the end…
28: Toulon winger Winkulu, out this evening having already missed Georgia with an ankle injury, is sorely missed.
26: Despite no rain for 6 months in Toulouse, the article manages to slide 5 meters from the Portuguese line!!! Since the Fijian depth would not leave him, he was punished
The Fijians stumble in their attacks but perform mysterious tasks. We really changed them.
22: Tuisova apologizes to her teammates after what should be called a ball thrown in the middle of Racing 92 that passed by Toulon and Lyon.
21st: Well, it’s ‘rugby madness’, with sliding at will and direct contact passes
19th: Well, the strikers did the job in the ensuing set, winning the set for the Portuguese
Al-Maqala fends off the most pressing pressure but shoots forward at speed 35 meters in front of his posts.
18th: A member of the Fijian team has already been injured (or concussion protocol?): 2nd row Mayanavavoa replaced by Sirikidavita
17: Oh, the beautiful “Ola” that waves on the field..
Thirteenth:: This is anything!!! A large number of turnovers, player number 8 (the Portuguese) trying to pass a cross with his foot…
12: McCarrel article!!! The Fijian full-back has fire in his legs, while the other three-quarters are more cautious and play more with the feet.
Tenth: Scrum-half Frank Lomani does not shake when opening the scoring from a distance of 25 meters in front of (3-0). Fijians are actually in quarters!
Eighth: The first bad inspiration from Sam Marquez, “Javit” Ewes, who touches down directly. Great opportunity for the Fijians 40 meters from the Portuguese line. They took the opportunity to win the penalty they chose to take, after a foul by Lobos hooker Mike Tadjer.
9:06 pm: Al-Maqala resists two Portuguese players after receiving a pass from Sam Marquez’s foot…but from behind, things are still confusing.
Fifth: “Fidji” rises from Christophe Rieu’s corner, and “Portugal” quickly covers him from the rest of the field.
Third: This first attack achieves nothing except a goal kick. But the Fijians started this match as poorly as the match against Georgia
Third: A good penalty kick found by Lusitano Gersuis Samuel Marquez in the 22nd of the Fijians
First: And presto, the first ball that the Fijians stole from the Portuguese. But in the back, the islanders are being punished…
9:00 PM: We go, after the audience sings along with Rico and Indochina
8:56 p.m.: The national anthem of the Fiji-Sepi national team is played, led by Captain Waisi Nayakalifu.
8:53pm: We start out in great atmosphere for this fifth and final World Cup match at the stadium
Big round of applause for La Rochelle third grader Levani Bhutia as well.
Lots of Portugal fans were back on the field this evening, some speaking with a nice Southwestern accent.
If Simon Raiwalwe’s men find themselves tied on points with Eddie Jones, they will end up top, as they won the head-to-head (22-15).
1. Wales (19 points, 4 matches, already qualified)
2. Australia (11 points, 4 matches)
3. Fiji (10 points, 3 matches)
4. Georgia (3 points, 4 games)
5. Portugal (2 points, 3 matches)
Exactly a month before the start of the competition. And yes, we take our time at rugby.
At the beginning of the competition, a long time ago, Fiji-Portugal didn’t look like much. However, it is crucial. If the Islanders win, they will participate in the World Cup quarter-finals for the third time after 1987 and 2007. In fact, one point will be enough to make them happy, which will allow them to accompany Wales, topping Group C. And already qualified, eliminate it Of gloomy Australians. On the Portuguese side, the World Cup has already been a success Draw against Georgia (18-18)In Toulouse already. But why not make the flying Fijians doubt, Like caucasian players Eight days ago in Bordeaux?
“Because we feel it will be a great match, we will meet around 8:30 p.m.
