HT Review Italy 22 Romania 3

A powerful scrummaging performance in the early minutes boded well for the Romanians. However the Italians quickly found their stride, converting their opportunities with ruthless efficiency and providing an impenetrable defence for the Romanian aggressors. Sarto, Gori and Allan all crossing for the Italians, who look confident with ball in hand. A solitary penalty from Florian Vlaicu in reply for the Romanians. Romania will need an early score if their to keep this game alive.
