Ontem, Portugal realizou mais uma excelente exibição e quase surpreendia a Itália, no entanto o profissionalismo levou mais uma vez de vencida o amadorismo, não basta a vontade e a entrega. Com outras condições e mais jogos competitivos, em pouco tempo estariamos como a Itália, ou até melhores.
Grandes exibições individuais da generalidade dos Lobos, destaque para mais um Man of the Match, desta vez para José Pinto.

"I've seen a very good Portugal team and I have to congratulate them on the match they played," Berbizier (treinador da Itália) said.
Portugal captain Vasco Uva and his back row partners Tiago Girão and João Uva led the charge with their ferocious defence and dogged play all over the pitch. Não é dogged é wolved.!

LYON, 20 September - Georgia's sterling efforts at the world cup have sparked an unprecedented wave of interest in the sport at the top of the country's political chain.
Georgia president Mikheil Saakashvili has announced plans to build at least 10 rugby stadiums over the next 12 months.
He also pledged to finance a top-flight competition in recognition of the exposure the IRB Rugby World Cup has given Georgia.
Speaking after his team's valiant 14-10 loss to Ireland on Saturday, Georgia captain Ilia Zedginidze reinforced the need for the country to forge their own championship.
"(Even though) playing in France allows the players to develop themselves really well, and for this we are really grateful to France, in Georgia there are not many structures for rugby to develop," Zedginidze said.
"In the next five years we have to do much more for the internal competition in Georgia."
Aiming for No.1
Zedginidze believes Georgia's improved standing in the international rankings - they've moved up one spot to 16th - is the most important result from the tournament.
"I hope that rugby will become the number-one sport in Georgia," Zedginidze said.
"Now everybody plays football and for our national team we have to choose 30 people out of less than 500 senior players.
"If you look at our younger players, we have some very good 11, 12 and 13 year-olds. They're as good as the French or English boys.
"In the future we will pay more attention to developing that age group so that we can become as strong as the French, English or any of the top sides. That's our objective
