Australia vs Portugal
Date: 01/10/2023
Time: 16:45
Venue: Geoffroy-Guichard
Australia started their Rugby World Cup 2023 campaign with a comfortable 35-15 win over Georgia but were dragged back to reality when they succumbed to a shock 22-15 defeat to Fiji on September 17. They will look to bounce back to winning ways when they face good side Wales on September 24th.
Portugal got off to a losing start in the Rugby World Cup 2023 following a disappointing 28-8 defeat to Wales on September 16. They will look to put their horrid start behind them when they face Fiji, who won Australia 22-15 a few days ago.
Both Australia and Portugal will lock horns on October 1 in search of a place in the next round of the competition.
