Fiji secured a quarter-final against England in Marseille in a week’s time but the glory in a mesmerising match at Stadium de Toulouse went to Portugal as they won their first ever Rugby World Cup game, defeating Fiji 24-23.
Australia’s future in the competition rested with Os Lobos denying the Flying Fijians a point from this final Pool C match, the last of 40 pool stage contests at Rugby World Cup 2023.
In their first Rugby World Cup since 2007, Portugal had come close to the win they craved two weeks ago when they drew 18-18 with Georgia in the same stadium.
