Today was THE match day for Romania at the Arcul de Triumf Stadium.
Romania faced France in the IRB Cup as its second match. Hands down, it was the most exciting match I’ve had the pleasure of seeing live this year. We didn’t win, but who cares when you see your national team play such beautiful rugby against France’s A team?
France A scored two transformed tries before Romania finally woke up, after wards it was rugby at its best. We’ve had 3 hits, one great try which we transformed, and Romania was at 16, down by one point only. Unfortunately for Romania, when facing such an experienced team, one point might as well be 10, France scored another hit and the score was 16 – 20.
Have I mentioned that Romania played the nicest rugby of their year so far? I did, but I felt the need to emphasize it since today I am proud of our guys.
Thanks France and Romania for providing us with such an awesome match tonight!
