The '''Romania national rugby union team''',<ref>({{langx|ro|Echipa națională de rugby a României}})</ref> nicknamed '''Stejarii ''' (''The Oaks''), has long been considered one of the stronger European teams outside the [[Six Nations Championship|Six Nations]]. They have participated in all but one [[Rugby World Cup]] and currently compete in the first division of the [[Rugby Europe International Championships]], which they won in [[2017 Rugby Europe Championship|2017]]. [[Rugby union in Romania]] is administered by the [[Romanian Rugby Federation]]. 

[[France national rugby union team|France]] first played rugby against Romania in 1924 when they tried to establish a rival to the Five Nations championship. Romania holds with 25 matches the record for the longest unbeaten run.<ref name=RFI1 /> Although not regarded as a first-tier team in more recent times, their history includes an away draw against Ireland, and wins against four (France, Italy, Scotland, Wales) of the other [[Six Nations Championship]] teams.<ref>[http://www.rugbydata.com/romania/teamsbeaten/ Men's International Rugby Union Teams beaten by Romania]</ref>

Romania played in every [[Rugby World Cup]] through to [[2015 Rugby World Cup|2015]], but were disqualified from the [[2019 Rugby World Cup|2019 tournament]] after fielding an ineligible player during the qualification process.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.world.rugby/news/340527 |title=Independent Appeal Committee decision regarding Romania and Spain}}</ref> Romania returned to the [[2023 Rugby World Cup]] and finished bottom of Pool B, losing all of their matches.

==History==
===Early history===
[[File:Romania national rugby team 1924.jpg|thumb|left|Romania at the [[Rugby union at the 1924 Summer Olympics|1924 Summer Olympics]] in Paris, France]] 
The game itself was introduced by students returning with rugby balls from their studies in Paris to form clubs such as Stadiul Roman from 1913 onwards. Seventeen other teams would be formed in the capital, Bucharest.

Romania's first international was played against the US in 1919. [[France national rugby union team|France]] first officially played rugby union against Romania in May 1924 when they tried to establish a rival to the Five Nations Championship (now the Six Nations). France were victorious by 59 points to 3.

Romania were one of three teams who entered the [[Rugby union at the 1924 Summer Olympics|1924 Olympics in Paris]]. France won 59–3, scoring 13 tries including four by the fine Stade Francais winger Adolphe Jaureguy. The United States then defeated Romania 39–0. Romania finishing third claimed the bronze medal. The [[Romanian Rugby Federation|Federaţia Română de Rugby]] was formed in 1931. In 1939 a team was formed in Braşov at an aircraft factory. This was the first team outside Bucharest.

===Post-World War II===

[[File:Romania national rugby team 1983.jpg|thumb|250px|left|''The Oaks'' before a test match against [[Wales national rugby union team|Wales]] in 1983.]]

A generation of French school trained coaches {{citation needed|date=October 2015}} from late 1940s, and 1950s built a system and led the national team to success of the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. In this era Romania began to compete more regularly against the major nations. Their first win over France came in 1960 in [[Bucharest]], in a tour match won by 11–5. In 1974 Romania won against France 15–10 in Bucharest,<ref name="espnscrum_a">{{Cite web|url=http://www.espnscrum.com/statsguru/rugby/match/20798.html|title=Rugby Teams, Scores, Stats, News, Fixtures, Results, Tables - ESPN|website=ESPNscrum}}</ref>  and the FIRA – Association of European Rugby championship.<ref name="en.wikipedia">[[1974–1975 FIRA Trophy]]</ref> In 1975 Romania went for an 8-game tour to New Zealand, concluding in Wellington with a 10–10 draw against the [[Junior All Blacks]]. Exposure to international rugby developed the country's game and they began to form their own distinctive style of play, built around strong, bruising packs. That Romania was emerging as a real force on the world stage became clear on their [[1979 Romania rugby union tour of Wales]] at Cardiff Arms Park, in an unofficial, non-cap international. The Oaks led going into the dying minutes, when only a last-gasp drop goal from Gareth Davies gave a narrow 13–12 victory for Wales. The improvement continued in 1980, when Romania crushed the French in a record 15–0 win in Bucharest. A trip to Lansdowne Road in the [[1980 Romania rugby union tour of Ireland]] then yielded a 13–13 draw against Ireland in another unofficial, non-cap match.

In the 1980s the country boasted more than 12,000 players in 110 clubs. [[Home nations]] sides began to award international caps for matches against Romania in 1981; Scotland were the first to do so when Romania visited them on their [[1981 Romania rugby union tour of Scotland|1981 tour]], Scotland winning the international by 12 points to 6.<ref>{{cite book|title=Rothmans Rugby Yearbook 1982–83|year=1982|publisher=Rothmans Publications Ltd|isbn=0907574130|page=65|editor=[[Vivian Jenkins]]}}</ref> Wales travelled to Bucharest in November 1983 and were totally overwhelmed, falling to a 24–6 defeat. Romania's first win over Scotland came in Bucharest in 1984 and their first away win against Five Nations opposition came in 1988 against Wales; 15–9 at Cardiff Arms Park.

Their national side beat [[Wales national rugby union team|Wales]] (twice – 1983: 24–6 in Romania, 1988: 15–9 in Wales), [[Scotland national rugby union team|Scotland]] (the 1984 Grand Slam side 28–22 in Romania), [[France national rugby union team|France]] (twice 1980: 15–0 in Romania, 1982: 13–9 in Romania) and drew with Ireland (13–13, in 1980, at Dublin). In 1981, they lost to the [[All Blacks]] 14–6 but had two tries disallowed. Many felt it was wrong for the rugby union powers to fail to bring them into top-flight competition. Romania beat Zimbabwe 21–20 in their first ever Rugby World Cup match in 1987 but did not win any other games and failed to progress beyond the group stage.

===After the collapse of Communism===
However, with the deterioration of the domestic political and economic situation in the country in the 1990s, Romanian rugby union suffered; the two leading rugby union teams – [[Dinamo Rugby București|Dinamo Bucharest]] and [[CSA Steaua București (rugby union)|Steaua Bucharest]], represented the police and the army respectively, so their state funding fell. {{citation needed|date=October 2015}}

Post-revolution, Romanian rugby union was still alive and kicking. In 1990 they recorded a prestigious  win to date by beating France 12–6 on French soil for the first time. The following year they beat Scotland 18–12. At the 1991 World Cup they beat Fiji 17–15 and as recently as the [[1995 Rugby World Cup|1995 World Cup]], Romania held the eventual winners [[South Africa national rugby union team|South Africa]] to a highly respectable 21–8.

The professionalism that followed immediately upon the heels of that World Cup was the undoing of the sport in Romania. Approximately 200 Romanian players are thought to be playing in [[France]] and [[Italy]]. It was not just playing numbers that suffered, but a whole generation of potential referees and administrators was lost to the game. By 1994 Romania's rugby fortunes had declined sharply, when a Welsh team travelled to Bucharest for an uncapped international the visitors came away with a 16–9 win. In 1997 the Romanians toured Wales. They lost 36–21 to Wales A at Pontypridd and 70–21 in a test held in Wrexham. At the 1999 World Cup Romania could again only manage a single win 27–25 against the United States.

===The new millennium===
[[File:Arcul de Triumf stadium.jpg|thumb|250px|Romania plays its home games at the [[Stadionul Arcul de Triumf]] in Bucharest.]] 
[[File:Ireland vs Romania rugby match.jpg|thumb|260px|right|Romania playing [[Ireland national rugby union team|Ireland]] at [[Lansdowne Road]] in 2005.]]
In 2000, Romania won the first [[European Nations Cup (Rugby Union)|European Nations Cup]] by a large margin, recording victories in all four matches. By 2001, Romania had been caught by the likes of [[Georgia national rugby union team|Georgia]] who defeated them to take the 2001 [[European Nations Cup (Rugby Union)|European Nations Cup]], crowned with a decisive 31–20 win over Romania in Bucharest. The national side lost to [[England national rugby union team|England]] by 134–0 in 2001 and Dinamo Bucharest lost 151–0 to [[Saracens (rugby club)|Saracens]] in the [[European Rugby Shield]]. Several French-based players refused to turn up for the England debacle simply because their clubs refused to pay them for the week. Players in that Romanian squad were getting £30 a day in expenses while England's top earners scooped £6,000 for their afternoon's work.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}}

In January 2002, [[Bernard Charreyre]] was appointed coach of the national team both supplied by and paid by the French Rugby Federation (FFR). Under Charreyre (known by The Oaks as 'Little Napoleon'), the Oaks' decline has been stopped and the team has started to slowly climb from the basement of international rugby union. With a change of format in the European Nations Cup, Romania started in 2002 trailing Georgia due to the inclusion of 2001 results. The Oaks won all of the remaining five games, including a hard-fought 31–23 victory in Tbilisi to win the tournament. They qualified for the World Cup in 2003, where they beat Namibia and lost to Ireland (45–17), after an honourable display, and then to Australia (90–8) and Argentina (50–3). Charreyre was dismissed after the World Cup as the Romanian Federation was not satisfied by the World Cup performance and decided not to renew his contract. Three other French coaches followed: first, Phillipe Sauton, for a very short period, Robert Antonin as a temporary stand-in and then Daniel Santamans.

In the 2003–2004 European Nations Cup, Portugal were surprise 16–15 winners over Romania in [[Lisbon]] and installed themselves on the top of the 2003 table. In the second half of the competition, Romania seemed back on track (36–6 against Portugal in [[Constanţa]]), but went down 24–33 to Russia in [[Krasnodar]] following allegations of players having been doped. Then Portugal clinched their first title with a last-minute 19–18 win over Russia in [[Lisbon]]. In 2004, the Romanians scored a narrow 25–24 victory over [[Italy national rugby union team|Italy]], their first victory to date over a [[Six Nations Championship]] side.

In 2005 Romania was given 'second tier' status by the [[International Rugby Board|IRB]] and replaced Russia in the [[Super Powers Cup]]. The USA beat a Romanian team stripped of their France-based players 23–16 in the third place play-off. The 2005–06 European Nations Cup also served as a [[2007 Rugby World Cup – European qualification|qualifying group]] for the [[2007 Rugby World Cup]]. Romania triumphed despite finishing level on points with Georgia.

Romania qualified for the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France, finishing at the top of their pool during the Round 5 of the European qualifying tournaments. Romania won their first qualifying match on 7 October, defeating Georgia in Bucharest 20–8. Their 43–20 win over Spain in Madrid on 14 October ensured that they qualified directly for the World Cup in 2007. In June 2007, Romania hosted the IRB Nations Cup in Bucuresti.<ref>{{cite news |title=IRB |url=http://www.irb.com/nationscup/news/newsid=278754.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131005001351/http://www.irb.com/nationscup/news/newsid=278754.html |archive-date=2013-10-05 }}</ref> In the [[2007 Rugby World Cup]] finals, Romania won a bonus point in the 18–24 loss to [[Italy national rugby union team|Italy]] and to win a second game with [[Portugal national rugby union team|Portugal]] by a narrow margin (14–10), but suffered heavy losses to [[Scotland national rugby union team|Scotland]] (42–0) and [[New Zealand national rugby union team|New Zealand]] (85–8).

On 21 March 2009, Romania lost 22–21 at home to [[Portugal national rugby union team|Portugal]], leaving them with an uphill struggle to qualify for the 2011 World Cup – qualification for which is determined by performances in the European Nations Cup in 2009 and 2010. Romania went unbeaten, with a draw at [[Russia national rugby union team|Russia]], in the 2010 phase of the European Nations Cup. The Oaks' strong finish put them in third place and the final phase of the European qualification playoffs, in which they easily defeated [[Ukraine national rugby union team|Ukraine]] over two legs (94–10 on aggregate) for the European place in the [[2011 Rugby World Cup Final Place Play-off|Final Place Playoff]] for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Romania emerged as the last qualifier for the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand by overcoming first Tunisia in a winner-takes-it-all game (56–13) and later Uruguay (60–33 on aggregate). Thus, the Oaks are one of only 12 teams to participate at all World Cups alongside New Zealand, Australia, England, France, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Argentina, Canada, and Japan.

In November 2016, Romania achieved home soil wins against the US, Canada and Uruguay.<ref>[http://www.worldrugby.org/news/211009 November gain or pain?] Retrieved December 2016</ref>

In 2018, Romania finished top of the Rugby Europe Championship, meaning they qualified for the [[2019 Rugby World Cup]] to be played in [[Japan]] in 2019. But after the conclusion of the tournament [[World Rugby]] conducted a review of player eligibility and found Romania fielded [[Sione Faka'osilea]], who previously played for the [[Tonga national rugby sevens team|Tonga Sevens]] team, which made him ineligible to play for Romania in the competition. Romania was stripped of 30 competition points, which placed them third and meant that they failed to qualify for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, with [[Russia national rugby union team|Russia]] taking their place.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/international/rugby-world-cup-2019-russia-romania-spain-belgium-docked-points-santioned-a8353761.html | title=Russia qualify for 2019 Rugby World Cup after Romania, Belgium and Spain sanctioned for ineligible players| website=[[Independent.co.uk]]| date=16 May 2018 | access-date=13 June 2018}}</ref>

On 29 May 2018, it was confirmed that Romania had appealed the decision.<ref>[https://www.worldrugby.org/news/337505 Disciplinary update: Romania and Spain to appeal disputes committee outcomes]</ref> On 6 June, the appeal failed and the decision was upheld, meaning Russia was confirmed as Europe 1 and qualified for the World Cup, whilst [[Germany national rugby union team|Germany]] advanced to round 6.<ref>[https://www.worldrugby.org/news/340527 Independent Appeal Committee decision regarding Romania and Spain]</ref>

Romania had competed in every Rugby World Cup since the inaugural tournament in 1987; that streak ended in 2018, when they were expelled from the 2019 tournament via points deduction for fielding ineligible players. Their best finish was with one win in 1987, 1991, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015. They lost all pool matches in 1995, 2011 and 2023.

[[File:Florin Vlaicu Penalty 2017.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Romania's current top point scorer and most capped player of all time, [[Florin Vlaicu]].]]
The 1924 Romania Olympic team are the only [[Romania]]n inductee to have been inducted into the [[IRB Hall of Fame]]. [[Nicolae Mărăscu]] captained the Hall of Fame side. The highest point of Mărăscu's career was at the 1924 tournament, earning Romania the bronze medal. He played as a [[Centre (rugby union)|centre]] and had five caps, without ever scoring, since his first match, in 1919, a 48–5 loss to [[France national rugby union team|France]], in [[Paris]], for the Inter-Allied Games, and his last, at 22 May 1927, in a 21–5 win over [[Czechoslovakia national rugby union team|Czechoslovakia]], in [[Bratislava]].

[[Iulian Dumitraș]] was Romania's main man. Dumitraș was known to be one of the Oaks' most gifted playmakers, with an accurate kicking boot and a penchant for sparking attacks. Having made his test debut in 2002, he went on to start in every match a Rugby World Cup 2007 in France, bringing plenty of experience to the nation. The then standing 1.88m and weighing in a 110&nbsp;kg, Dumitraș was a punishing runner when he chimes into the line on attack, which he looked to do often, and he provided a solid and dependable last obstacle in defence.

[[Sorin Socol]] is regarded by many good judges as the then best player in the current squad and was one of the rocks of the Romanian forward pack. He has captained the most matches to date for Romania, between 2003 and 2011. A total of 61 tests, 36 of them were as captain. He captained Romania for the first time on 30 October 2003 during the [[2003 Rugby World Cup]] match against [[Namibia national rugby union team|Namibia]]. He went on and featured in the [[2007 Rugby World Cup|2007 World Cup]] squad and eventually retired from all international rugby after the 2011 tournament. Socol had one of Romania's highest winning percentage as a captain of 63.88.

[[Florin Vlaicu]] is Romania's top ever point scorer and also the most capped player appearing in 104 tests so far. Vlaicu made his international debut in 2006 as a substitute against [[Ukraine national rugby union team|Ukraine]]. He played for Romania in the [[IRB Nations Cup]] and in their [[2007 Rugby World Cup – Europe qualification|2007 Rugby World Cup qualifying]] before appearing for them in the [[2007 Rugby World Cup]]. He played two [[Test match (rugby union)|Tests]] at the World Cup as a substitute against both [[Scotland national rugby union team|Scotland]] and the [[All Blacks]]. He also played at the [[2011 Rugby World Cup|2011]] and [[2015 Rugby World Cup|2015]] [[Rugby World Cup]]s.

[[Cristian Petre]] is Romania's most recognized player after dominating the [[Lock (rugby union)|lock]] position for eleven years. He is one of Romania's most capped player with a total of 92 matches and a career span that started in 2001 against [[England national rugby union team|England]] and ended in 2012 against [[Italy national rugby union team|Italy]]. Petre has featured in three [[Rugby World Cup]]s, first in 2003, going on to feature in 2007 and his last being in 2011. Petre has scored a total of six tries and had winning percentage of 55.43.

[[Cătălin Fercu]] is generally regarded as one of Romania's true global superstar of rugby union. Fercu is Romania's top try scorers. He had quickly made appearances on the international stage at a very young age and played against [[France]] and [[Scotland]] in the Autumn internationals in 2006. He also scored a try against the French. Fercu helped guide [[Romania]] to the 2007 [[Rugby World Cup]] as he played in the qualifier matches including the vital games against [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] and [[Spain]] and scored a try against Spain in the game that sealed their qualification to the [[Rugby World Cup]]. Fercu was a late withdrawal from their Rugby World Cup squad in 2011 because he was not prepared to fly all the way to [[New Zealand]]. The Romanian side arrived in [[Christchurch]] to prepare for their first game of the tournament against [[Scotland]] in [[Invercargill]] on 10 September without Fercu, who failed to get on the plane when it left [[Romania]].

Another one of the Oaks greatest players are [[Romeo Gontineac]], represented Romania in four [[Rugby World Cup]]s from [[1995 Rugby World Cup|1995]] to 2007. The hard running centre, who became the national coach in 2010, was capped 75 times for the nation, scoring 13 tries and a drop goal. During his career he played professionally in Romania, [[South Africa]] and [[France]].
