2009 IRB Nations Cup: Uruguay - Romania  | |  The third match of the 2009 IRB Nations Cup first day opposed Uruguay to Romania, the host of this tournament.
The match had two totally different halves. The first 40 minutes have been almost entirely controlled by the Romanian, while the team of Uruguay performed much better rugby during the second half.
The match ended Uruguay 11 - 17 Romania, the final score being a mirror of the overall balance shown on the pitch.

| | 2.  Beertjie (726) | 6 months ago |  I am not realy up to date with this series, first time I hear of it. Probably because South Africa is not partaking. What is the IRB Nations Cup and which countries participate. Is it played every year, or how often.
There is so much sport going at the moment, it is hard to keep track of it all. We just finished the IPL cricket here in SA, now the T20 world cup. We are having the British and Irish Lions rugby team touring our country, the Rugby super 14 series also recently ended, now we have to concentrate on our provincial series, the Currie Cup. Then there is all the other sport in between to cope with. So it is little wonder that I know nothing about the IRB Nations cup.
Please inform. Thanks
Blessings

 stvasile (5358) | 6 months ago | The IRB Nations Cup is a secondary annual competition, which I'm mentioning because it has been organized in Romania (my country) for the last three years.
It is not a very strong competition - the participating teams don't have to qualify or anything. They just announce their intention of participating. Six teams are playing every year, and the strong teams only send their second representative (the "A" team - only a few players of the first team and many of the usual reserve players), like France, Scotland and Italy did this year. It is a good competition for the strong teams to test some players for the future and for the small teams to play against better adversaries.
This year, the teams are France A, Scotland A, Italy A, Uruguay, Russia and Romania.
There are three matches for each team, and the best placed team (considering the points and the score) gets the trophy.
South Africa did participate in the past. They won the trophy last year (and if I'm not mistaking the year before that too), but with the Emerging Springboks team, not the first team. | |

| Beertjie (726) | 6 months ago | Thank you very much for that information. I did not even know we participated last year or the year before. Like I said, we have so much of sport, especialy this time every year, that we don't get round to following everything.
Best wishes for your team.
