Romania’s
national rugby team travels to Brussels for a fixture against the national team
of Belgium. The match due on Sunday counts towards the last round of the
European Rugby Champions Cup. Georgia has emerged as winner of the tournament
already. Romania is 4th-placed and still has the opportunity to move
up a notch in the final rankings.


In the 10th-round
of the Champions League in water polo, Romanian champions Steaua Bucharest will
play an away group A match against Serbian opponents Crvena Zvezda. Steaua and
Zvezda are 7th and 8th-placed, respectively, in the
eight-team group, the last-but-one and the last position in a group headed by the
Italian team Pro Recco. Steaua Bucharest has only one win on its record sheet, namely
an 8-3 victory against Crvena Zvezda, a win they grabbed in the previous round
in Bucharest. The latter team has zero points on its record sheet.


Now its news
from dancesport. Some 1,500 athletes
from 24 countries are in Bucharest this weekend for a Great Slam round, as part
of the Dancemasters competition. Dancesport has been gaining ground in Romania
in recent years, with Romanian dancers reaching as far as the final in
world-level competitions.




Over March 14 -
