We’re not here just to be a presence, we’re here to win. "We let the emotions get the better of us and we didn’t show the level of rugby we can. We didn’t have a solid scrum, we had too many mistakes in the backs and we were punished," said Portugal captain Tomas Appleton. We wanted to win this game but we didn’t perform. All soldiers begin with a set of basic Kevlar Armor, which confers no benefits beyond allowing a single Utility Item to be equipped. Portugal had Vincent Pinto bunker yellow-carded, upgraded to red, as his high boot struck Josh Adams in the face and Wales regrouped and did what they needed to do - just. Armor is a critical element of the game, providing resistance fighters with increased Hit Points, additional utility slots, and eventually armor that reduces the magnitude of incoming damage. Wales needed another try to secure the bonus point and thought they had it after a brilliant steal by Morgan and a magical run by Rees-Zammit sent Gareth Davies over – only for it be ruled out for obstruction.
They surged forward with their own replacements bringing new energy and after a superb lineout move Nicolas Martins crashed over for a try greeted with a huge roar. If anyone thought Portugal were about to wilt, however, they were mistaken. Wales introduced their version of the bomb squad with a new front row and a change at lock 10 minutes into the second half and the fresh legs helped bundle Jac Morgan over for a third try.
Wales had the last word with a pushover try for Dewi Lake to give them a 14-3 lead but it was Portugal’s ambitious play that was the talk of the stands during the break.
Another Portugal attack from deep finally got them on the board via a penalty from Samuel Marques whose last-minute penalty against the United States in the qualifying playoffs sealed the final World Cup berth.
