That was a tough one for Fiji.

Glad they’ve won but TV here says a penalty before the kick for 10-9 was not correct. And this moment was gamechanger.

 

anyway, looks like Flying Fijians will go to QFs!!!

Clearly victory with Chile, logical one, i hope, it wont be the only participation of them in a world cup.

Don't think it will be - I think it's VERY likely we're going to some form of 24 team world cup, possibly with plate and shield competitions

 

And the extra 4 places, I think Americas get 2, Africa and Asia get 1/2 each and probably Europe gets 1

 

I honestly think world rugby would be VERY keen, prior to the first World Cup in the Americas to get as many Americas teams as possible - Arg, Uru, Chi, USA and Can

May 30th 1995: South Africa - Romania 21-8 (Pool A)

 

Even though a loss, this is the closest result of Romania with the rugby union giants.

 

I could only hope sometime in the future we could get there again.

This generation is compromised....

Future generations are not particularly promising either ...

 

U20 Championship 2022 : 5th/8 with a loss to Belgium 18-6, wins against Czechia 33-10 and Poland 34-9.

U18 Championship 2022 : 8th/8 with losses to Spain 102-0 (no typo here), Germany 27-17 and Czechia 10-8.

And their exposition to pro rugby will be way less than what used to be for Romanian players back in the days, like, just a decade back.

 

Foreign(French)-based Romanian players in RWC squads :

  1st tier  2nd tier  3rd tier 4th tier 5th tier Total
2011 4 2 3 0 1 10/31
2015 5 6 0 0 0 11/31
2023 0 4 3 2 1 10/33
