a good show in their match against the strong Argentinian selection, which
comes 9th in a world ranking.






Eugen Capatina scored a try
and Ionel Melinte converted four penalty shots for Romania. The test game
pitching Romania against Scotland on Saturday, July 10th will no

side, the Romanian Rugby Federation has announced.
