They made us proud
Yesterday was the pinnacle of Portuguese Rugby with the first Rugby World Cup victory ever.
Several Portuguese media outlets showcased the National Rugby team: Tribuna Expresso / Jornal de Notícias / Diário de Notícias / o Jogo / a Bola / RTP and I wish they would do it more often.
The international media is always keen on the story of the underdogs: The Guardian / RWC / BBC / Reuters asking why the Lobos are not part of the 6 Nation tournament yet.
Every game this team played was exciting and emotional. The Rugby World Cup posted that this Portuguese Rugby team was looking to create their own legacy at the #RWC2023 and so they did.
Congratulations to all our #Lobos who made us proud for their attitude and contribution to developing the sport in our country.
Go greet them when they arrive at Lisbon's airport tomorrow at 19h40 if you have the chance. They deserve an amazing reception.
For these Portuguese it will never be Toulouse, it's to win!

1 年Rugby is still a thing? I had to google world cup rugby to even know what you were so proud of!! Anyway it looks like you beat Fiji. Is Fiji still a thing? I had to google that too. It seems it is a tiny island in the middle of nowhere with a population of 500 tribesmen who are terribly undernourished....And you beat them by 1 point? 1 POINT!! #UglyAmerican #Wesuckatitsowepretenditdoesntexist ??
