Ultimate Rugby would like to apologise for the delayed coverage of the Russia vs Romania game. Both teams did not leave much to be desired after joining the action as three tries were scored in 15 mins. Romania took the lead but Russia soon followed with another two tries. A yellow card late in the first half will mean that Romania will be starting the second half with 14 men. This second half is promising to be exciting!
