Raffaele Costa Storti (born 19 December 2000) is a Portuguese rugby union player, who plays for Stade Français in the French Top 14.
Having played for CR Técnico until 2019,[1] Storti then joined the new Peñarol Rugby franchise in Uruguay.[2] But just after he made his debut in the Súper Liga Americana,[3] the league was quickly brought to a halt because of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the young Portuguese returned to his former club in his home country, to compete in the 2020-2021 season.[4] [5]
On the 31 August 2021, he signed for the Top 14 side Stade Français.[6]
A standout player at the 2019 under-20 Trophy with Portugal, scoring the most tries in the competition, Storti quickly became part of the senior team,[7] appearing to be one of rugby union most promising prospects outside of Tier 1 nations. [8] [9] [10]
On September 23, 2023, Storti scored two tries against Georgia which ended in an 18-18 draw. This result gave Portugal their first ever points in a Rugby World Cup.In the last pool stage game of the 2023 Rugby World Cup he scored the first try in the country’s first ever win in the competition against Fiji.
