The final place at the 2011 Rugby World Cup is up for grabs when Uruguay
host Romania in Montevideo in the first leg of two qualifying play off
matches. The second leg takes place in two weeks time in Bucharest with
the winners destined to join Argentina, England, Scotland and Georgia in
Pool B when the finals kick off in New Zealand in September 2011.
Romania qualified for the play off by beating Tunisia 56-13 in July, whilst
Uruguay despatched Kazakhstan 44-7.
The two sides have only previously played each other twice in test matches,
both times in the IRB Nations Cup in Bucharest. Romania won on each
occasion, winning 10-6 in 2008 and 17-11 in 2009 when Uruguay finished
bottom of the six team tournament.
Romania are 19th on the IRB World Rankings and just two places above
Uruguay, who could climb up to 20th above Namibia if they win the match
by a margin of more than 15 points this weekend.
Uruguay reached the semi finals of the South American Championships
earlier this year following victories over Brazil, Paraguay and the host
nation, Chile, before losing 38-0 to the eventual winners, Argentina. They
then competed in the Churchill Cup in the United States, losing all three
matches to Canada, France A and Russia, who beat them 38-19 in the Bowl
Final.
Romania won six and drew one of their Rugby World Cup qualifying
matches in 2010 and finished third in the European Nations Cup behind
Georgia and Russia. They competed in the IRB Nations Cup on home soil
and finished second behind Namibia, who beat them 21-17 in their opening
match of the tournament. Romania recovered from that setback to beat
Argentina Jaguars and Italy A in their other two matches.
Romania have competed in the final stages of all six Rugby World Cup
tournaments, whilst Uruguay missed out in 2007 after qualifying for
the previous two in 1999 and 2003. Uruguay won one match at each
tournament, beating Spain and Georgia respectively. Romania have won
five and lost 15 during the final stages and the only time they lost all three
pool matches was in 1995 in South Africa when they finished bottom of a
group including the host nation, Australia and Canada.
Potential milestones
Uruguay need 39 points to reach 4,000 in test matches.
Romania’s DAN DUMBRAVA needs two more penalty goals to reach 50 in
test matches and 26 more points to become the third player to reach 300
for his country after Petre Mitu and Ionut Tofan.
The man in the middle
MARK LAWRENCE of South Africa will be in charge of this match, which
will be the first time he has refereed a game involving either side. His most
recent appointment was to New Zealand’s 23-22 win over Australia in the
final game of the 2010 Tri-Nations series and he was involved as a touch
judge and television match official at the 2003 and 2007 Rugby World Cup
finals.
