Portugal defeated Fiji 24-23 to secure their first ever win in the tournament at the eighth attempt
Fiji have advanced to face England in the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup, eliminating Australia, despite suffering a stunning 24-23 loss to Portugal who secured their first ever win in this tournament at the eighth attempt.
But although Fiji’s players slumped to the turf in frustration, they can look forward to a quarter-final appearance after picking up a losing bonus point to send Australia out at the pool stage for the first time in World Cup history.After a scrappy first half ended 3-3, the game came to life in the second half with Portugal seizing the initiative.
That fired Fiji into life and just three minutes later Levani Botia replied with a powerful run before Frank Lomani levelled the scores with the extras.
