Portuguese rugby is clearly being strengthened.

1st Portugal try will go in the history books.❤ Great to see Portugal and Georgia given Test games😊

[Samizouza]

Not a bad effort from Portugal against a classy Springbok outfit, not easy getting 21 points while being pumped at the same time.

Honestly, three tries is more than i dreamed. As a Scot living in Portugal with South African family this was a dream match, and made me even more excited for the Scotland tests in November. No matter the scorelines, i see one of my teams win 😂😂

[tatiz]

Portugal plays a beautiful rugby, i hope that every year get at least 2 test with tier 1 nations.

21 for Portugal against SA is kind of impressive,

[piet]

Portugal have some excellent ball skills both passing and kicking was clean af. and serious pace in the backline

[mearip]

Portugal scored against Africa...they should be proud of themselves scoring against World Champs - 21pts is huge

[billymaguire]

Unsure why people are expecting Portugal to be better. They did play extremely well considering where they are coming from - 43 points between them and the world champions! So glad they could play this game!

Portugal are gonna catch up to us eventually. This game is like a small peak of the future of what's to come for Portugese rugby 🇵🇹🏉

Well done Portugal, you guys played so good, it is really nice to see other rugby teams getting chances in these bigger games. The tries you guys scored were brillliant coming from a SA supporter. Much love Portugal.

[MsGorganzola]

With such a large contingent of Portuguese living in S.a I think this is a great idea going forwards. Can only help the Portuguese team get better. Well done. 🤙

[seatoskyadventures]

Well played Portugal 🤙
Some great attacking Rugby from both sides. Cheers from SA 🍻🇿🇦

[bradleysamuels]

That No23 of Portugal, Dos Santos is a promising and talented player..

[elchapothedon]

Crazy how big union is getting worldwide now. Portugal should be really proud of themselves scoring that many points against the best team in the world on south africas home ground.

[ThesurgeoNNN]

I've always tried giving the guy the upper hand but this match confirms it. Libbok needs to stop kicking for goals, that's not a critic of his gameplay, the guy is an excellent rugby player just not a good kicker.

[charlearends]

Hold your heads up high, Portugal - what a performance. Your future looks bright after the last world cup; exciting and skillful rugby, and so much fun to watch. Nothing but respect 🫡

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu is the future of SA I feel. I think he should be the next replacement for Pollard

[ClipzGod-kjzz]

Was there last night. Coming from a south african portugal is very very good for a tier 2 nation. Would not be suprised if they are in the six nations in a few years and beat wales.

[zhahahaha]

Bravo aux portugais, toujours plaisant à vous regarder jouer. 😊
