Wales 28 – 8 Portugal

Tries from Louis Rees-Zammit, Dewi Lake, Jac Morgan and Taulupe Faletau, plus four conversions from Leigh Halfpenny, helped Wales make it two wins from two at the Rugby World Cup; Portugal’s try from Nicolas Martins was the least they deserved for their efforts in Nice

Louis Rees-Zammit celebrates a try with Rio Dyer in Wales’ win over Portugal

Wales made it two wins from two at the Rugby World Cup as a much-changed team laboured to a 28-8 victory over a lively Portugal side in Saturday’s Pool C clash in Nice.

Tries from Louis Rees-Zammit and captain for the day Dewi Lake, both of which were converted by Leigh Halfpenny, helped Wales into a 14-3 lead at the break after a scratchy first half from Warren Gatland’s side which included Johnny Williams being sent to the sin-bin.

Portugal, beaten 102-11 by Wales in their only previous meeting 29 years ago, proved game opponents but only had a penalty from Samuel Marques to show for their first-half efforts. However, Os Lobos did manage a deserved unconverted try in the second half through Nicolas Martins.

A third converted score from Jac Morgan after the break and Taulupe Faletau’s try on the stroke of full-time saw Wales eventually seal a bonus-point win though, while Portugal’s day was marred by a late red card to Vincent Pinto for dangerous play.
