Jones has confirmed his 36-player England squad and Radwan, who scored a remarkable try for Newcastle over the weekend, has done enough to earn a recall.

Exeter Chiefs Jack Nowell is listed in the squad although he was a late withdrawal from the team that faced Japan over the weekend.

There is also a return for Bath prop Will Stuart, the tighthead having overcome injury.

The weekend’s match will be the first time since they won the 2019 Rugby World Cup semi-final.

“Owen Farrell is in line to make his 100th cap this weekend and there is a return to the full squad following injury for Will Stuart, along with Adam Radwan,” said a statement.

The story of Romania's Mariana Lucescu: The Stejarii ‘Madame Rugby’

You’re welcome and sorry for the late reply.

could targeted investment by IRB/World Rugby and other have helped over the decades?

I think so. More money is always good and compared to other T2 Federations, although things aren’t perfect, the Romanian Rugby Federation did a good job managing it’s budget.

I think I saw T2Rugby tweeting that out of T2 nations funding around half goes to the 3 Pacific Islands which might be a bit of a waste considering how much coruption there is inside those Federations.


I had read there was a big exodus to France after professionalism which was a major blow, could investment at this critical juncture have kept more of those players, coaches, officials in place and reduced the damage?

It was a major blow for the local championship and the level of the local competition.

This was fixed in 2011 when the Superliga was created - a professional league with 8 teams. I think it had 10 in it’s peak. Having a pro league for a T2 nation is really good but now the issue is there are only 6 teams which means you don’t have a lot of matches during a season. It would’ve been great if there would be again 8 or 10 teams but I don’t see that happening any time soon.


However, for the national side, this exodus was really good. Even now we get benefits from it, although we don’t have as many players abroad, because kids of those players are playing at a higher intensity level in France - ex. Gontineac, Mitu.
