Wales take on Portugal for their second victory in Pool C
Last Sunday, Wales survived a major scare against Fiji in their 32-26 thrilling victory. From 32-14 with 13 minutes to go, Fiji came back to 32-26 with 90 seconds to go. A Semi Radradra knock-on in the dying seconds with the try-line beckoning stopped the Pacific Islanders in their tracks.
A much-changed Wales side will take on Portugal today who will play their first Rugby World Cup game since 2007. Ranked 16th in the world, Portugal booked their spot in this Rugby World Cup with a 16-all draw with the USA in the crucial last game of the Final Qualification Tournament in November. Portugal is well prepared for this game after resting off the first week of the tournament and will look to make an impression.
