Spirit!

Spirit Award: Coming into their first ever Rugby World Cup nobody gave Portugal a chance, and in fact had tipped them to ship in excess of three hundred points. However what we saw in the opening four weeks of the tournament from Os Lobos was a tribute to their sheer guts and determination. They may have gone down 108-13 to New Zealand, and finished the tournament without a win, but they left with huge respect and admiration from the rugby public. They managed to score a try in every one of their games, with the most popular score being Rui Cordeiro's try against the All Blacks. From an impromptu game of football against the All Blacks to a wedding proposal for one of their players after their last game, Portugal will forever be etched into rugby fans' hearts.


Espectáculo! :)
