[QUOTE="dragos03, post: 635859, member: 44724"] It means "fast" or "quick". I'm pretty sure it's a word with Latin origins because it exists in Romanian, French, Spanish and Italian. Rapid Bucharest was the club of the railway workers, later it became supported by the Ministry of Transport. But their rugby team was never very important because the railway workers had a much older and prestigious rugby club: Grivita Rosie. Grivita Rosie was founded in 1932 and has won the Romanian championship 11 times. In 1964 they have also won the European Champions Cup (an ancestor of the Heineken Cup), defeating French champs Mont de Marsan 10-0 in the final. [/QUOTE]
