For the last group match of the competition, the Lobos will face the Fijians this Sunday, October 8 on the lawn of the Toulouse Stadium. The Portuguese, last in Group C, and who certainly have nothing more to hope for in this World Cup, are not used to giving up so easily.

If the Fijians cannot hope to take first place in the group from the Welsh, already qualified since their match against Australia, the rest of the competition is open to them: even in the event of a draw, they would definitively take the Australians out of the Global. So if there is only one step that separates the Fijian selection from the final stages, its last very close victory against Georgia (17-12) does not yet allow it to be completely confident.
