#I know they’re Lusitanian not Hispanic

Georgia 18 - 18 Portugal

It’s heartbreak for Os Lobos as they manage a draw with Georgia, missing the penalty kick that would’ve secured their first World Cup victory.

Magnificent in defence, taking offensive chances when they presented themselves, Portugal put Georgia to the sword. Those seeing the first few minutes would’ve written the minnows off, but they fought back, and led their European rivals for a solid 50 minutes of the match.

They didn’t get a win, but a draw is pretty impressive against a team they haven’t beaten since 2005, proving their performance against Wales wasn’t a fluke.

Georgia won’t be happy with this result, as it all but removes their chances of escaping pool play, but Wales and Fiji won’t be underestimating them either any more.

Pool C continues to prove a seething cauldron of rugby. Who graduates from it is still very much up in the air, but no one can deny that Portugal played the game of their lives tonight. A draw isn’t a win, but still a massive effort for a team stocked with part timers.

Hispanic rugby continues to prosper and inspire in modern years.
