Ovidiu Cojocaru, Adrian Mo\u0163oc, Daniel Plai and Hinckley&#13;<br \/>\nVaovasa have been included in the round&#8217;s dream team, when Romania trounced the&#13;<br \/>\nteam of the Netherlands, 39-12, away from home. Picked up among the dream team&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nsubstitutes were Costel Bur\u0163il\u0103 and Gabriel Rupanu. Most&#13;<br \/>\nof the dream team players, 7, come from Georgia, the team that won the Rugby Europe&#13;<br \/>\nChampionship, having thrashed Spain, 49 to 15. Georgia and Spain are the first&#13;<br \/>\ntwo teams in descending order according to the combined rankings of the Rugby Europe&#13;<br \/>\nChampionship&#8217;s 2021 and 2022 <a>editions, so they booked&#13;<br \/>\ntheir direct qualification to the 2023 edition of the World Cup in France. <\/a>3rd-placed&#13;<br \/>\nRomania is to play in the repechage in November, if they want to secure a&#13;<br \/>\nposition for the World Cup. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Joining&#13;<br \/>\nRomania for the repechage tournament are also teams from the two Americas, from&#13;<br \/>\n<a>the Asia-Pacific Zone <\/a>and Africa. Teams will play&#13;<br \/>\naccording to the round-robin system. Of the Americas, the winner will be&#13;<br \/>\ndecided after the double confrontation pitting the USA against Chile. The&#13;<br \/>\nwinning team qualifies to the World Cup, directly, while the defeated team&#13;<br \/>\nplays in the repechage tournament. According to the world rankings, USA are 18th-placed,&#13;<br \/>\nwhile Chile are 23rd, being outclassed by Romania, currently 17th-placed&#13;<br \/>\naccording to the same rankings. For the Asia-Pacific Zone, the winner will be&#13;<br \/>\ndecided in the confrontation pitting the team of the state of Tonga against the&#13;<br \/>\nAsia&#8217;s champions. Again, the winning team qualifies to the World Cup directly,&#13;<br \/>\nwhile the defeated team plays in the repechage tournament. Tonga is by far the favorite team. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Romania will most likely play the Asian&#13;<br \/>\nchampion, to be decided between Hong Kong, South Korea and Malaysia. According&#13;<br \/>\nto the world rankings, Hong Kong are 22nd-placed, South Korea, 29th,&#13;<br \/>\nwhile Malaysia are 50th placed. Africa&#8217;s championship will be held in France in&#13;<br \/>\nJuly. The eight competing teams will play according to a knock-out system. The winning team qualifies to the World Cup,&#13;<br \/>\ndirectly, while the finalist plays in the repechage tournament. Of the African teams,&#13;<br \/>\nbest-placed according to the world rankings are Namibia, which is 24th-placed&#13;<br \/>\nand Zimbabwe, which is 34th-placed.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>(EN)<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest from rugby<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":77687,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40940],"tags":[31316,34027,42130,41575,42129],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-122470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport","tag-championship","tag-finals","tag-knock-out","tag-repechage","tag-round-robin"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
