Romanian women’s handball champion team CSM Bucharest on Sunday travel to Hungary, for a game against FTC Rail Cargo Hungaria, in a match counting towards Champions League’s Group D. CSM’s most recent record includes a home defeat by Norwegian side Vipers Kristiansand. After 3 rounds in the women’s version of Champions league, FTC Rail Cargo Hungaria are at the top of the table in group D, with 6 points, followed by CSM Bucharest, with 4, Vipers Kristiansand and Germany’s SG BBM Bietigheim, with 3 points each.

Next it’s news from rugby, as on Saturday, November 10, Romania’s national team take on the team of Portugal in the northern Romanian city of Baia Mare. A win in this playoff fixture earns the Romanian national squad a place among the teams competing in the Rugby Europe Championship. The World Rugby Federation officially banned Romania from taking part in the 2019 edition of the World Cup in Japan as in the qualifying matches Romania used an ineligible rugby player. The Romanian national squad has thus become a bottom-of-the- table team according to the Rugby Europe Championship 2018 rankings and will have to take on Portugal, a team that in 2018 won the third-tier Rugby Europe Trophy. The winner of the match will secure their position in the 2018-2019 edition of Rugby Europe Championship. Head-to-heads so far shows that Romania took on Portugal 24 times, Romania winning 21 matches, and Portugal, three. Romania and Portugal were last pitted against one another in a European Cup of Nations match played in February 2016. Back then, the Cluj Arena saw Romania thrashing Portugal, 39-14. Portugal last won a match against Romania in 2011, also in the European Cup of Nations, when in Lisbon, Portugal defeated the national Romanian squad, 24-17.
