The game is scheduled in Ottawa on Friday night, when in Bucharest it is Saturday already. The match is part of a tournament the Romanian national rugby squad has in North America. This past weekend in Chicago the Romanians already played a match against the United States. Romania secured a 22 to 20 win, thus winning the Pershing Trophy, a cup rewarding the winner of the direct confrontations between the two teams. <\/p>\n<p>Here is what the Romanian national rugby team\u2019s head-coach, David G\u00e9rard, stated, in a message posted on the Romanian Rugby Federation\u2019s Facebook page: <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA very straightforward and very aggressive rugby, similar to that played by the Americans. It is a very proud country. Canada is a god team and it is kind of difficult to face them away. But good things can happen if we do what we\u2019ve got to do, if we take the right decisions on the pitch. \u201c <\/p>\n<p>A new edition of Romanian Football Super League Championship kick-starts at the weekend. On Friday, Farul Constan\u0163a plays Unirea Slobozia while FC Hermannstadt faces Universitatea Craiova. On Saturday in Sf\u00e2ntu Gheorghe, the local side Sepsi receives the visit of Poli Ia\u015fi. In western Romania\u2019s Arad, the local team UTA goes against Rapid Bucharest. Also on Friday, FCSB takes on Universitatea Cluj. This week FCSB have played in the Champions League\u2019s first preliminary round, securing a 7-1 win against Virtus of San Marino, away. <\/p>\n<p>The round\u2019s derby is scheduled this coming Sunday as on home turf CFR Cluj goes against Dinamo Bucharest. The round draws to a close on Monday, when FC Botosani play a home game against, while Petrolul plays a home game in Ploiesti. The first half of the championship draws to a close in early November. <\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s last round as part of the regular season, the sixth of the second half of the championship, is scheduled at the weekend before Christmas.
