[QUOTE="amz, post: 935458, member: 39697"] Here's the full match, Spain 21 - 18 Romania [MEDIA=youtube]1qAslPKOcfY[/MEDIA] Despite the loss, there is a positive progression in Oaks game, however personal mistakes gifted the match to Spaniards. Also Oaks should accomodate to play against hostile refs in Madrid as offsides and obstructions from Spain were widely tolerated and some decisions were very questionable. It is the second year after the Bayonne basque who was ref in 2018 and allowed punches and side entries in front of him. Again the yellow for Spain come too late when it was anyway a Romanian player also on sin bin. I really support a protest of FRR against the ref from this game, he missed too many for only one side. As for positives a young Romanian front row (23 yo on on median) pushed back few meters Spanish scrum (again, not sanctioned by ref in two occasions) and generally the young players (Chirica, Zaharia, Cojocaru, Hartig, Gordas, Onutu) were good. Simionescu and Plai didn't have a good match but not catastrophic, I think they both deserve more chances. Without one of personal mistakes of Vlaicu and Plai, pure gifts to the opponent, probably the match would have been won. [/QUOTE]
