not to sound like a phallus, but I wonder what the Brazil Portugal match would look like.......

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

portugal is going to lose to canada and fiji

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

well thats my opinions on the game but i might be wrong portugal might play very well and beat fiji and canada but i think they wouldn't

 

[Big Ewis]

dude, he's being sarcastic. He's saying obviously Canada and Fiji should beat Portugal...and is making fun of you.

 

[Tonga_rugby]

This Spain is better than last Spain.
More players who are playing in France come back and two of them are good players (10 Ruiz and 9 Rouet), who play in high level and in special positions.
Uruguay and Chile are difficult teams. They've played many test matches in this year and Spain haven't played any since March, but I think that Spain will win both test matches. Win over Japan will be impossible, because Japan is better than Spain and some players will return to their French clubs, so they will not play this test match. We have some injured players (Nava, Peluchon...) but I think that they will be able to play versus Japan. My friend Lionel Pardo is out until January.

I like this squad. I'm happy.
New Head Coach, new life.

1. Hutchinson

not to sound like a phallus, but I wonder what the Brazil Portugal match would look like.......

Portugal should win but Brazil have been an improving side over the past few years within South America, although watching them this spring in the CONSUR tournament was a little disappointing after having a great showing in 2012. Crusaders have been working over there too, which is what made their 2013 tournament even a little more underwhelming.

 

[usausa]

As reported in the FIRA-AER forums, Brazil not at full strength due to 7s players training in New Zealand at the moment.
