LILLE, France - Romania started their World Cup with a bang when Gabriel Rupanu scored a try after three minutes against Ireland and they finished with a battling defeat versus Tonga but in between it has been a chastening experience.
They showed much more grit against a lively Tonga on Sunday, battling back from 21-3 down to 21-17 at halftime before eventually falling away to lose 45-24. Since the game turned professional in 1995 they have managed one win against a Tier One team - edging Italy 25-24 in 2004 -and their main focus each year is trying, and usually failing, to beat Georgia in the European Nations Cup.However, while they might be expected to struggle for line breaks or metres gained, a shocking average of around 48 missed tackles per match is hard to justify at any level and a high of 287 points conceded is tough to swallow.
