Romania’s scrum is nice and strong… but that is about all they seem to offer.

Hahaha, Romania steals the French lineout
25

grootblousmile on 23 September 2015 at 9:18 pm

Romania ruck penalty, man all over the ball, well stolen. Penalty is just outside the Romania 22.

grootblousmile on 23 September 2015 at 9:20 pm

Lyk my hierdie Romeniërs… as hulle jou nie kan byt soos Dracula nie, dan skrum hulle jou poer in jou moer, dat jy wens jy’s eerder gebyt!

Another Romania penalty, very kickable but they go for the corner.

grootblousmile on 23 September 2015 at 9:20 pm
