The league seems very close and competitive this season, there were two very close matches this round and even the Timisoara vs Cluj game was not the expected trashing.
Other news:
- the Saracens website has started to report Timisoara's results, hopefully this will increase the visibility of Romanian rugby in England.
- Serbian club Partizan Belgrade (whose U16 team already competes in the Romanian youth leagues) wants to enter a partnership with U Cluj and aims to become a professional club in the future. There have been some rumors last year that a Belgrade club wanted to go pro and bid to enter the Superliga.
- prop Andrei Ursache has signed a new 2-year contract with Carcassone, after the club avoided relegation from Pro D2.
- even if Ealing was relegated, hooker Andrei Radoi has signed a new contract with them. He said he feels very well at the club but is aware that playing in the third division might make him lose his place in the national team.
- Tarbes has signed 20-year old prop Tudor Stroe from Pau espoirs, he is considered a great prospect and was monitored by Toulon and Grenoble. He was born in France but has an obvious Romanian name, the FRR should keep an eye on this player.
