Romania’s national rugby squad on Saturday trounced Tonga
in a test-match, 32-20. The Oak Leaf Knights’ Tudor Bodnar and Florin Surugiu succeeded
two tries, with Tudor Boldor successfully scoring both. It was also Boldor who
twice scored a penalty kick. Romanian national team’s other 12 points were
scored by Daniel Plai, also from penalty kicks. Romania national team’s recent
victory triggered a swap in their favour: according to world rankings, Romania climbed

margins, thanks to a last-second goal scored by the Hungarians. CSM’s top
scorer was again Cristina Neagu, who scored 9 goals. The win against
Ferencvaros earned CSM the 4th place in group A. At the end of the competition’s
group stage, the first two teams compete straight in the quarterfinals. To
advance to the League’s upper stages, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th placed teams will have to prove their mettle in the playoffs.
The Champions League will be resumed earlier next year, when CSM play an away game
against Brest in France on January 8th.
