Previews

Portugal has already won its World Cup title-‘The Team that played the most games to get to France’ award must be theirs. That’s all they’ll get for their efforts because along with the Japanese and Namibians, they will get hammered! Scotland’s weapon may well only be a soft mallet at present but it will be enough to do serious damage.

 

These two teams have never met before.
