@booboo Saturday morning, NZ time.
I assume the Portugal v USA game will be streamed on The Rugby Network like the previous matches.
Just for info, Portugal v USA is 18 v 19 on the rankings.
Be close.
Having said that, Hong Kong v Kenya is 24 v 34.

Portugal are going to the RWC!!
The game between the USA and Portugal ended in a 16 all draw, but Portugal goes through on a better points differential.
An exciting game to watch, with so much at stake. Portugal deserved the win with much more entreprising, positive rugby. The USA looked nervous and scared for most the game and were way too passive, except maybe in the final quarter.
Portugal were leading until the USA scored a try in the 60th minute. They scored a penalty in the 80th minute to get the draw.

Shit for USA rugby

An A vs D and B vs C crossover for the quarters would have so much more credibility..
They really cocked up the draw this time didn't they, as teams don't go to the other side? In other words, we can't have the two best teams from the same pool meet in the final, or did I get that wrong?

You can as there’s a crossover in the semifinals. A NZ v FRA final is possible
