Newcastle could have won by more than 1 point.
Fulltime 13-12 Newcastle Falcons. The hosts showed some great character as they came devastatingly close to claiming a big scalp in European rugby, full credit to them as they displayed some excellent attacking play at times and good defence. The Falcons will breathe a sigh of relief as they got out of jail in the final moments of the game as the trailed from the start of the game. A poor performance by their standard as they will be wanting to raise their game for next weeks game. Credit to their defence for not allowing Bucharest to cross over but their ill discipline a the breakdown almost cost them the win. Thanks for following with Ultimate Rugby and good afternoon!
