Replacements: Suman, Florea, Poparlan, Burcea, Surugiu, Cazan, Vlaicu.

just settling into the anthems (not sure if I like what they've done to the Scottish one Erm

)

Anyone else watching this one?

by WillyGilly Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:45 pm

Great work from the Romanians. Forward are really playing out of their skins.

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:46 pm

RDW - that is indeed the question! Sctoland have got so many good options to choose from!

well earned try there for Romania, scored by their no1.

kick tot he corner from a penalty, rolling maul and boom a try. Really well worked. Scotland need to watch their discipline, because Romania are showing they are well capable of punishing them.

Bad time to concede for Scotland though just before half time.

18 - 11 HT score, the kick just missed.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:46 pm

Phew, lucky we've got the mighty Dicko t come on to shore up the scrum?!?!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:53 pm

Can only assume that Danielli didn't know that Mossy was up in support for that botched break?

by WillyGilly Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:54 pm

You'd like to hope so.

by **RDW** Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:54 pm

Even if he didn't know Mossy was there - he bawsed it up! he ran into the guy instead of pinning his ears back and gunning for the corner!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:58 pm

Romanian supporters look v happy to be there!

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:00 pm

they certainly look like they're enjoying themselves As!

Romania starting the 2nd half full of confidence here.

Blair down injured....ah I thnk he's okay, he's up and walking ack to the rest of the team now anyway.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:00 pm

Thank god 12 overran his man, what was Vernon playing at?

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:01 pm

ah too many errors in the backs for Romania here when they get themselves into threatening positions. that was a great chance to counter attack but they knock on.

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:03 pm

oh Monty! the offload was clearly not on there, why try it?!

as a plus, that was a much, much better scrum for Scotland tehre.

Scotland attacking on the other wing now and they get a penalty! This is better.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:05 pm

Good counter-rucking, think we're lucky to get that shout

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:05 pm

tricky tricky wind, missed kick there by Paterson, which you have to say is unusual.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:08 pm

Careless footwork blew the chance, good clearance from Rom

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:08 pm

two wasted chances there by Scotland in the Romanian 22, they need to be taking these.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:10 pm

Need to watch for Rom closing the gap at lineout time

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:11 pm

a warning or card coming Romania's way now.

A yes a warning, been penalised far 2 many times now this 2nd half, mainly for being offisde. Scottish pressure starting to tell.

by mpc28 Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:12 pm

Scotland look like a team not used to scoring tries, they seem to panic when they get into the 22

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:13 pm

Mossy for 3 seems like scant reward for a lot of pressure. Wagga on

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:16 pm

Dan Parks takes the pace out of our game, not sure that's what we need?

by flyhalffactory Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:17 pm

Morning bretheren

We need some structure in the loose, but how many time is the ref going to allow the Romanians to camp offside. Jackson didnt have a good game, Barclays needs to crank it up

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:18 pm

Bravely taken high ball by Romanian lad

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:20 pm

fhf - they've had the warning now, guess next time they'll have a yellow.

Argh Scotland, sort out gathering the restart!

oooh Romania desperately unlucky not to score there.

by **RDW** Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:21 pm

Just me or do Scotland look knackered?

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:21 pm

Like their replacement scrum half, he's a live wire

by flyhalffactory Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:22 pm

Where is the support play from us absolutely dire

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:22 pm

some amazing play by Romania here! Playing with such fire and passion, Scotland ont he ropes camped on their own try line, can't really believe it.

Can't believe Romania didn't pass it wide, would have been in for a try, but they got a penalty for Scotland being offside anyway.

RDW - they do a bit, lacking match fitness perhaps after having so long off??

by flyhalffactory Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:22 pm

RDW

We look flat out on our feet

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:23 pm

As - agree with you on the scrum half, he's really added some speed to Romania's game.

21 - 17 at the moment, Scotland have to score next.

by **RDW** Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:24 pm

Dan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:24 pm

Two restarts out on the full from Desparate furious

by mpc28 Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:24 pm

Cannot believe Dan Parks has done that again Doh

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:24 pm

Rennie on for Barclay, who has had a poor game imo, although has lacked support at times.

oh God Parks, 2nd kick out on the full, argh!

by flyhalffactory Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:26 pm

Barclays was very disappointing throughout. Rennie and Cussiter hopefully will make the difference. Our experienced heads need to go for territory

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:27 pm

Great steal from Rom 13 and super kick to corner

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:29 pm

that has to be a try by Romania surely, another amazing scrum on Scotlands line by them
Going to TMO.

by **Pal Joey** Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:30 pm

Try... this is looking ominous for Scotland now.

by flyhalffactory Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:30 pm

FFS how many errors have we made. Scrum to Romania

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:30 pm

Looked a good score to me?

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:30 pm

Try, and very well deserved

22-21 before the kick. I can't believe this. Scotland have been outplayed this 2nd half so far.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:31 pm

Romania with a deserved 3 point lead imo

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:31 pm

24-21, this is inspired by Romania, who are just doig the basics so very well and are playing with more and more belief.

Surprised they've just taken their captain off though!

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:33 pm

Right better Scotland, in the Romanian 22 now, please don't panic!

by flyhalffactory Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:34 pm

Mossy come on!!

by **RDW** Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:34 pm

Where's the card ref? You've given them plenty warning

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:34 pm

Penalty.

24-24

This is going to be some last 10mins!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:35 pm

Argentina and England will be laughing their heads off at this

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:36 pm

Big hit from Schlong - welcome to ouchville, population you

by Guest Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:36 pm

Georgia aren't going to be too displeased with what they're seeing either I don't think.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:37 pm

Vernon picks up from the base with his head down - says it all really
