Vlaicu completes dramatic comeback for Romania

Romania grabbed a dramatic come-from-behind victory as Florin Vlaicu's late penalty against 14-man Canada -- earning the Eastern Europeans just their sixth victory ever at the Rugby World Cup.

Match Commentary

81'		FULL TIME ANALYSIS ESPN's Martyn Thomas (@MCThomasSport) had this to say: "When Jeff Hassler stormed over at the beginning of the second half few would have predicted the finish we would have in Leicester. A successful conversion from Nathan Hirayama extended Canada's lead to 15 points, but it was the missed kicks that would ultimately prove costly to Kieran Crowley's side's hopes. At the final whistle they would have squandered five more points than their opponents from the tee, 11 in all. When digesting a two-point defeat those numbers will loom large. But credit must go to Romania, they put in a herculean effort in defence that kept them in the game and rallied in the second half to score two contrasting tries - both from captain Mihai Macovei. It was only right that the game would be settled by a penalty kick, with Floein Vlaicu holding his nerve to send their fans ballistic in the stands."
