Romania were thrashed 0-84 by Scotland at the Rugby World Cup and the Oaks’ lackluster performance was criticized by the international press.

The world press commented on the tricolor’s performance, and the criticism was commensurate with the heavy defeat on Saturday night.

“At 77-0, the Romanians looked like people praying for the final whistle. Scotland seemed hungry for more and took the score to 84-0” – BBC.

“It starts to get a bit tiring: after the first quarter of an hour, the tension evaporates. And after an hour of one-sided play, you wonder if a hundred points will be reached.

After being thrashed by Ireland (82-8) and then by South Africa (76-0), the poor Romanians now have just one more match against Tonga (no Sunday, October 8, 17:45) to save their honor and leave this world championship with victory” – L’Equipe.

Le Figaro Let’s note the blatant indiscipline of the Romanians, who received three yellow cards within 10 minutes. Robert Irimescu, Valentin Rozu and Marius Simionescu for a few minutes left their teammates in a numerical advantage, emphasizes the cited source, reports News.ro.

“Romania was crushed by Scotland, being categorically outplayed by opponents who performed their task with determination and precision” – Guardian.
