Romania has a rich history of rugby. Its first competitive match was against France in 1960. It was played before a crowd of 55,000. The team beat Wales two more times several years later. It also beat Scotland later. But, the majority of Romania's international competitors have been against France and Scotland, Wales, Germany and Italy.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the national side was a force. The national team defeated France twice, and Scotland twice. They were also beaten by Ireland, Wales, and England.
After 1989's disastrous fall of communism the Romanian rugby league was faced with serious financial problems. A few key figures played a role in the nation's revival of rugby. One was Octavian Morariu, who served as president of the FRR and became one of the most prominent figures in the nation's sports scene. George Straton was a friend of Morariu. They became partners eventually.
Alin Pentrache was also involved in the Romanian revival of rugby. Both of these men were school trained coaches who helped to establish the national side. Although the country was still quite far from the modern game, it made significant progress in the middle of 1990s.
Despite the success of their junior teams, the country had a hard time reaching the top of the professional game. The current generation of players is a force to reckon with, especially in Europe.
Sione Faka'osilea as well as Mihail Niculescu have been Romania's international players. Both these men were included in the top 7s teams worldwide in 2013. They are also a major reason why the Romanian team won the Rugby World Cup.
Adrian Apostol, Danut dumbrava, Paulica Ion, and Paulica Ion are just a few of the notable Oaks players. Although the majority of the team is made up of professional players, some of them have spent a significant amount of their careers in the juniors. Ioan Antonescu, for example, has played for Tarbes and Focsani as well as Dinamo Bucuresti. He was part of the national Sevens team in 2013 and 2014.
Romanians have proven to be a formidable force, winning three of the four editions the European Nations Cup in 2009/10. Despite not qualifying in 2009 or 2019, they will play against South Africa and Japan over the next few decades.
Although it has been difficult for most of the Romanian Rugby Football Union, they have had their moments. Despite their terrible start to the tournament the Romanian Rugby Football Union is still trying to get a place in this tournament.
