Romania Rugby has its sights set on the Rugby World Cup in 2023

Rugby news from Romania

Andy Robinson, the current Romania Rugby coach, spoke with Ryan Jordan about Russia’s suspension, what he observed in the Romanian squad when he took the job, and what he hopes to bring to the team.

The implications of Russia’s suspension

Robinson was asked about the impact of Russia’s suspension on Romania Rugby’s chances of qualifying for the RWC. First and foremost, we must demonstrate our support for Ukraine. We’d all be in awful shape if we were playing a game against a country that had recently invaded another. They should, and have been, sanctioned.

All of their previous games in the qualifying competition should be removed in order to create a clear picture of the standings of the remaining teams in the competition. This means that the top three teams will have to compete for either direct qualifying to the Rugby World Cup 2023 in France or a final qualifier competition.

The European competition’s winner and runner-up will automatically qualify for the tournament. Pool B, which includes South Africa, Ireland, and the Asia/Pacific 1 qualifier, will be assigned to the victor. The runner-up will be grouped with Wales, Australia, and the winner of the Final Qualifier tournament in Pool C.

Working for Rugby Romania was a wise decision

He explained why he chose to coach Romania in September 2019 after they failed to qualify for the Rugby World Cup for the first time in their history. Their team had potential, in my opinion. They possessed a strong core of young players to back them up, as well as a few extremely good senior players. With the exception of three members, every squad has been produced entirely within their own organizations.

The strong Romanian teams of the 1980s and 1990s relied heavily on their set-piece play. I saw promise in helping them rebuild that aspect of their game. Referees are increasingly emphasizing the speed of play, safety, and space because of the way the game is currently called. To deal with this, the squad must be extremely fit in order to endure the increased intensity. They were averaging roughly 30 minutes of the ball in playtime when I took over the club. Since then, the time has increased to 37 minutes.

We’ve got to put in a lot of effort on both offense and defense, Robinson continued. We also had to practice our catching, passing, and collision dominance skills. Rugby Fans can buy Rugby World Cup 2023 Tickets from our website.

Takeouts from coaching a Tier 2 Nation

‘You have coached at both an international and Premiership level,’ Robinson was questioned. ‘Over the previous three years, what has stuck out for you as a Tier 2 international coach?’ “The passion for the game is identical to that in the United Kingdom,” he responded. There is also a great deal of desire to learn and progress. It has also helped me better as a coach. Instructions must be very explicit due to the language barrier. I also have to provide a lot of direction.

However, getting adequate playing time is a concern. There are several excellent players in Europe, but they do not regularly play superb rugby at a high level. The team does not travel much because of the financial condition in Romania.

Because the Romanian league season does not begin until April, players who are on a break during the European Rugby Championship will not be able to play. This is exacerbated by the fact that there are only six clubs in the Romanian league. There are only four of them that are truly competitive.

Romanian head coach’s closing remark Romania gave the visiting Argentina team a scare last year. They were tied 17-17 at home and were defeated by a late try. They can once again be a strong team if they play consistently solid rugby against teams ranked higher in the World Rugby rankings. They will have the opportunity to compete against the best rugby teams in the world at the Rugby World Cup 2023 in France.
