Fantastic pressure on defence by the Portuguese leads to the French going back 35m before kicking the ball over their own deadball line. 5m scrum to Portugal results in Leal easily getting over for a try to put his side back into the match with 60 seconds remaining

After a long build up, the French put in a great steal at the ruck and spread it wide to Barry who scores in the corner. Demoralising for the Portuguese.
