Portuguese Rugby players arrested after celebrating in Montevideo

Six Portugal players celebrating their qualification for the finals of the World Cup have returned to Lisbon after several hours in jail in Montevideo. No charges will be filed after one player assaulted a policeman in the Uruguayan capital.

The Portuguese lost to Uruguay 18-12 on Saturday but qualified on aggregate. Their first World Cup appearance will be against Scotland in St-Etienne on September 9
