Portugal Get Chance To Be Group C Whipping Boys

Yesterday's play-off second leg between Portugual and Uruguay ended with an 18-12 victory to Uruguay, but it is Portugal who qualify for the World Cup rugby finals, having held a 7 point advantage from the first leg.

The Portuguese get to be whipping boys for a group that includes favourites New Zealand, Scotland, Italy and Romania but right now, all here at world cup rugby blog wish them all the best. And we, do, truly, hope they acquit themselves well in the finals.
