Frankly, they have more pressingconcerns than the prospect of a drubbing at the hands of England in thisone-off Test.The public exposure and sense of occasion alone will do them the world ofgood. Romanian rugby, once the source of shock results that rocked theestablishment, is now in a shocking mess.For a number of years the game has been in rapid decline in the eastEuropean country and without international aid, in the form of funds,training and management expertise, extinction is imminent. DumitruMihalache, the unpaid president of Romania's rugby federation, admitted:'Weare in deep crisis - this is a crucial time for us. Romanian rugby willdisappear because we are a poor country. We have to have help.'
