Final score 21-21. In my opinion, a shameful game of the Romanian team.

Did you watch it? I thought this result pretty much makes sure Romania are going to New Zealand. Don't think Uruguay will be able to turn Romania in Bucharest.

Yes, I watched it. Romania was superior overall, but made a lot of stupid mistakes allowing their opponents to bounce back from 21-21 from 21-11. Ofc, Romania are favorites, but the pressure is on our team, Uruguay has nothing to lose. And many Romanian fans think that, with our current form, we would better skip the RWC instead of going there and getting humiliated.
