Tonga vs Romania Preview


While Romania will see this as a game where they can be reasonably competitive, they still don’t have the quality to get the win. They have conceded 75+ points in their last three games while only scoring eight.

I am backing Tonga to cover the -37 handicap.

  • Tonga have lost their last 3 matches.
  • Romania have lost their last 5 matches.
  • Romania have conceded 50+ points in their last 5 matches.
  • Romania have not scored a point in their last 2 matches.
  • Romania have conceded 82, 76 & 84 points in their last 3 matches.

Head to Head


Tonga and Romania have not played in recent times.

Tonga Form


Tonga have lost all three games at the World Cup, but this is certainly one they will target for the win. While Tonga have been competitive in all their games, they just haven’t really had the quality to challenge the three top sides.

Defeats to Ireland, Scotland and South Africa will have Tonga desperate to take all five points against Romania. While it will do nothing for them, there is plenty of pride on the line.

Last week Tonga suffered a defeat to the Springboks, but it was arguably their best performance. They will want to replicate that against weaker opposition this weekend.

Tonga Injuries & Team News


With this being their final game Tonga are likely to field a full-strength side.

Romania Form


Romania have probably been the biggest disappointment at this World Cup. They have been absolutely hammered in every game thus far.

They lost 82-8 to Ireland after scoring a very early try in that game. They have not scored another point since a penalty a few minutes later in that same game. It was followed by a 76-0 thrashing by South Africa.

In their last outing, Romania lost 84-0 to Scotland in another humiliation. Just two years ago Romania were pushing Argentina to the brink so it is quite unfathomable how far they have fallen.

Romania Injuries & Team News


Romania have a few injury concerns but they will still want to put out a team that can be competitive. This is the game they would have targeted for an upset.

Verdict

Tonga are backed to cover the -37 handicap.
