Breakfast with Martin celebrated all things Portuguese ahead of the Springboks' clash with the Portugal national rugby team.

On Saturday, South Africa and Portugal will go head-to-head during a Test match at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein.

In the spirit of celebrating rugby and other nations, Breakfast with Martin Bester invited a few Portuguese fans to spend the morning with us.

To kick things off, the team met Rui Gavina from the Casa do Poveiros Portuguese Club.

Gavina brought along some traditional Portuguese dancers from the club to dance live in studio.
