Kidding right?BTW does Portugal play rugby?
Easy to get up and motivated for a world cup. Not so easy retain that enthusiasm and momentum through a regular season. Just ask Japan. I'm not convinced the Portugal the world saw at the world cup is the same Portugal you'll see in SA. Namibia, for example, were within a score for a good 50 minutes of their fixture. And Namibia are really weak.Kidding right?
They beat Fiji at the 2023 WC after drawing with Georgia for their 1st ever WC table point.

I'm expecting the Boks by at least 50

so its a training run...
Jirre we lost alot of ranking points
Should have played a decider against Ireland instead.Portugal beat Namibia, the last game they played
But the Boks have absolutely nothing to gain in playing them, I guess its just a goodwill gesture.
The usual doom and gloomers will be out to nit pick every little thing if they dont win by 70 or something

The Porras could score two or three tries against us, so it should be a fun game.
Not surprised. That was a war. Feel sorry for Marx who just came back from long term injury
