While being essential in front of Uruguay (12-5), Portugal took a light advantage before the return match in Uruguay on March 24, qualifier for the World cup. The last ticket is not yet in the pocket of anybody even if the South-Americans will leave favorite to Montevideo to reverse the tendency for the world cup 2007.

The Portuguese could want to be some for the world cup 2007. Whereas the two teams had reached the pause without marking the least point, the Lusitanians took the best on their adversaries by marking two tests, including one transformed. One 12-0 which would have offered to them a more comfortable voyage in Uruguay but the E finally reduced the score in the last minutes while flattening behind the line: 12-5 and seven points in advance before going on the other side of the Atlantic, it is thin. But it is already better than at the time of the preceding attempts.

At the time of the qualification for the World 1999, the two teams had already found themselves. The South-Americans had not made in lace, asserting themselves on Portugal (33-24) and even more largely on their premises (46-9). The men of Tomaz Morais thus progressed and this is why the trainer Lusitanian believes extremely in the chances of his team to the return. “On the end, we missed chance. In Montevideo, it will be the match of our life but we like this kind of meeting. We there will gain and create the surprise for the world cup 2007”. Verdict, March 24.
