After making history and recording Portugal's first EVER Rugby World Cup win, as they shocked Fiji, Os Lobos winger Rodrigo Marta sat down to talk about through that iconic day and his try which snatched victory.
Marta discusses how Portugal were the last team to qualify for the tournament after a last minute draw with the USA in Dubai when scrum half Samuel Marques slotted a penalty from 40m out to see them narrowly top the repechage qualifying group.
He then speaks about their early strong performances in France against Wales and Australia, their near miss against Georgia and then their fairytale victory as they upset the Flying Fijians. He is also joined by his fellow winger and try scorer on that day Raffaele Storti as they speak about his incredible tournament and joke at Marta's surprise when Storti actually passed to him for the decisive try!
