Os Lobos thrilled at the 2023 World Cup and can qualify for the next one in the coming weeks.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Quinta do Lago IRELAND LAUNCHED INTO a big match week this morning in the Algarve, while Portugal did the same up in Lisbon.
Os Lobos - the Wolves – gained huge support at the 2023 World Cup in France, drawing with Georgia and recording a stunning 24-23 win over Fiji thanks to a brilliant late try from wing Rodrigo Marta, converted by scrum-half Samuel Marques.

The Portuguese union felt Mannix’s coaching approach was a good fit with their exciting squad, while his experience in French rugby was also deemed to be useful given that several of Os Lobos‘ key players are based there. Cork man Corcoran returned to Irish rugby in a role with the IRFU and Munster academy for the 2021/22 season before joining French club Agen in the summer of 2022. He has now linked up with Mannix again as part of the Portuguese set-up, which also includes Mirra as backs coach and former France hooker Olivier Azam as forwards coach.
Stade wing Storti showed his finishing prowess with tries in both of those autumn games and Mannix will be hoping his Portugal team can light up this Rugby Europe Championship – which can be watched on Rugby Europe TV – with their attacking rugby.
