8 Turnovers won by Romania vs 1 by France in the 1st half
Was still 3/3 when first tuned in then after those 2 quick tries thought the dam wall had broken but it was nice to see Romania come back towards the end of the half

Sounds like France were sloppy in that area
Gosh commentator just said a player weighs 150kg!
49 @ Bullscot:
Romania’s forwards are big strong buggers… and very committed, but the defensive lapses of the backs is a bother to their game… and their backs lack genuine penetrative ability.
2nd Half ON!
Romania scrum, deep inside French territory
Yeah Romania, play with your forwards… arghh a knock by Van Heerden

Before the RWC I counted 12 teams at it that South African born players :
All of the 6 Nations teams, Japan, Romania, South Africa, Namibia, Canada and USA
France almost forced to go for quick channell 1 ball on their scrums.. to get it in and out..
55 @ Bullscot:
Yeah, that article was very good!
Knock by Fickou, France
France now applying a much harder rush-up in your face defence… and they win a penalty on the ground.
3 French subs, 2, 3 & 8 subbed.
Great counter-maul by Romania… chip ahead by Parra… dotted down by Romania, 22 drop in
