    Am I the only one who's been massively impressed by the team spirit and work ethic of the Portuguese (a side composed entirely of amateurs)? Just scored a lovely try against the Romanians and for my money the pick of the minnows for sheer commitment, drive and never-say-die loyalty to the shirt. A certain team in green could take a leaf from the Portuguese book methinks......

    Yeah i love watching them the emotion they show during their national anthem is inspirational stuff. For a team that people were laughing at before the WC they'v really proven themselves hope they do well now after the WC

    Watching them play is like watching rugby from another era...check out the loose head, i didnt know you could have that body shape and play rugby at this level any more...more power to 'em, giving the fancied Romanians a right run for their money....

    That has to go down as the worst game of the tournament so far in terms of standard. Portugal were resilient but both sides weren't able to put more than a couple of phases together. The ref must have a sore arm he was signalling so many knock-ons.
