Kudos both teams, thank you Scotland for giving Portugal a spot in your busy schedule

They needed a moral boost 😂😂

You know, that was a pretty decent score line for Portugal.

[@majorowe]

Stop the propaganda. It was a flogging. Scotland took their foot off the pedal

[@marigajohn4806]

Love the experience that portugal is getting. Fiji started the same way. Look at them now

[@FMJParis18]

The Portuguese actually did pretty good against the Scottish. I hope Portugal keeps improving and thank you Scotland for hosting a Tier 2 nation.

[@johnscallobs8273]

eventhough portugal got a hiding, great to have them on to develop rugby

[@westernsellers9148]

Portugal historically are the Knights Templar ❤

[@Noobsaibot21]

Some day they'll pull a Japan and beat a tier 1 side. Doesn't look imminent but some day...

[@sidcunha9078]

Portugal' s progress in the past year has been exceptional. Forca Portugal!

[@ItzCoopzFtw]

A decade or so more and Portugal could be a tough competitor. Putting 21 points on a Six Nations squad is respectable.

[@dave9332]

I want Portugal and Georgia in the next tournament of the six nation

[@Magz-101]

Then it wouldn’t be 6 nations now would it?

[@JM-nw2pb]

big gap between the tiers but they need to play more game between them

[@wernertukker5420]

That’s the only way they will improve. No good always playing tier 2.. Plus, there are 9/10 year olds in Portugal, watching and dreaming of playing for the national team, and in 10-15 years, those hungry youngsters, will be ready to go better their their hero’s if today. Same for all the other smaller nations. They need more game time against the top dogs

[@Dantrag123]

@@wernertukker5420 Not only games, but training squads (coaches, experienced players, who play in pro leagues, etc) also. As I remember, Graham Henry was a coach of Argentina a couple of years, and they improoved greatly under him.

@ exactly right mate… these ex players have a wealth of knowledge that they can use in the tier 2 nations.

Well done, both teams, Portugal great effort from NZ Maori.

[@JohnJones-hh8cs]

Hiya Paul, Im a kiwi living in Portugal and it's great to see them competing well. They need a few more years getting regular games against 6 nations teams and developing some depth.

[@hannesolivier204]

I really do hope some big clubs see Portugal players and offer them contracts 👏👏 well played!!

[@jojolebrouteur]

Marques et Storti toujours aussi énormes ! On vous adore à Béziers les gars ;) sinon quel plaisir de voir jouer le Portugal à Murrayfield ! J’aimerais qu’ils jouent un jour contre la France.

[@andreafranceschini3889]

Great game, Scotland too strong but some very great play by Portugal, really hope to see them more frequently against tier 1 nations

[@glensmillie5101]

Please please please show the try conversions 😢

[@colinip2747]

Good for Scotland giving Portugal a slot to play in AIs. Great to see Portugal front up, made Scotland look ordinary at times.

Nice Game, very well played by Portugal who deserved to end with (much) more small gap result. Terrible refereeing that doesn't leave a good image of current rugby.

muy bien Portugal, asi se crece, abrazo

[@heldercosta515]

A lot of mistakes by the portuguese side. Not quite sure Mannix is the right man for the job, the team looks messier than last last year. The ref was also a total mess, players being tackled in the air...come on😂

[@GeocentricKJV]

Mannix needs time and the team isn't that bad 3 times over the line vs South Africa and 4 times vs Scotland The ref had no idea

[@mrpooltable9374]

they will play Ireland in 2025

The Autumn tour also seems to give teams time in between to play smaller rugby nations. It's a good heading for the growth of rugby worldwide. The smaller rugby nations need it.

Great game and won by Scotland. One comment is that it looks like Darcy Greame is afraid of contest against the 1st tier teams and avoids SA last week so to be not belittled against Cheslin Kolbe and others in SA team.

[@otama213]

If you want depth in world rugby, you need tier 2 teams playing tier 1. It wasn't that long ago japan and argentina were getting pumped by 70b points. Let's not forget that Scotland at times over the past 20 years has not been tier 1.

[@diogo6037]

​@@otama213exactly! He doesnt have a clue

[@andrewbarton8525]

You know what? That's a rubbish comment. I played rugby for 40 years and coached children here in France until a few years ago when my knee finally gave up. I always put the a team squad children ( up to under 16) in the age group above for the end of session game. Play against a higher level team in training match and come Sunday tornement, it's easier. Train at a higher level than you need to play. How are second tier teams supposed to improve if they don't get to play the top teams!! This is rugby fella, not footy.

[@christiancatley4120]

What a stupid comment

[@garywagner2466]

Bollocks. It’s called development. Should happen more often. World Rugby is not very good at it. Tier 2 and 3 teams rarely get the opportunity to play matches at the Tier 1 level. Portugal scored 21 points against a Tier 1 team. They should be proud of that. Until players have to defend against a more sophisticated attack, they don’t really understand what it takes to do it. Now they do. Portugal will learn, just like Georgia, Fiji, Japan, Italy and Argentina did.
