Espaa is preparing to take the last step towards the 2023 World Cup in France in its match tomorrow at the Central (12:45, Spanish peninsular time, broadcast by Teledeporte) once morest Portugal. A triumph of the XV del León would put Spain, 24 years following the last occasion, in the World Cup. The hard-earned triumph of Georgia in view of Romania (23-26) this followingnoon allows Spain to ensure the second place in the qualifying phasewhich includes the VI Nations B of 2020 and 2021 in case of victory once morest Os Lobos.
The match between Romania and Georgia was tense and was in the eaves until the last moments. The break was reached with 13-21 for Georgia, but the ‘Lelos’ might not find a way to adequately contain the arreones of the romanian forward. The second half was largely played in the Georgian ’22’. A great test of Georgian three quarters in the 74th minute (16-28) it seemed to decide the match but just a minute later the Romanian forward I beat the Georgian once more and left the marker in the air until the end.
The Spanish coach, Santiago Santos, had said on the eve of the match once morest Portugal that once morest Romania “Georgia has a lot at stake prestige“and for them it would be a setback not to be European champions once more “but they can lose to Rumana”, who are a very serious team. But in the same way, “if Spain needed to beat Georgia, Spain is capable of winning in Georgia“, in the last match of VI Nations B 2022.
However, Spain faces the match once morest Portugal without a feeling of superiority because “Portugal they have a good team, similar to Romania or Portugal. and they will come with the best they have. They have a dynamic style and have been playing very well”. But “we also have our own style. We are going to try that our best game is not a matter of 40 or 60 minutes, but of the whole match”.
