Georgia and Portugal did not manage to decide between themselves at the end of a match with twists and turns (18-18) in Group C, during the 3rd day of the Rugby World Cup this Saturday, September 23. First completely dominated by realistic Georgians in the first act, the “ Lobos » then almost turned the game around in the second half before being caught on the edge by a Georgian try at the end of the match and missing a penalty in added time. The Portuguese obtain their very first draw in a Rugby World Cup, but also come very close to the very first victory in their history in the competition. In the Group C standings, Wales lead with 10 points, followed by Fiji and Australia with 6 points. Georgia and Portugal share last place with one point each.
