HT: Italy 22-3 Romania. The Romanians came so close to scoring during a period of 8 minutes when they were camped on the Italian try line. That was a massive moment for them, and it looks like they have left themselves far too much to do in the 2nd half.

30' Another penalty to Romania for offside. The Romanian backline never saw the ball once there ... they're trying to go over with their big boys.
11 Oct 2015
28' Another penalty for Romania 5m out ... this time for an infringement in the lineout. They kick it out ...
