Romania has secured an impressive fourth place at the World Rugby U20 Challenger, showcasing the talent and resilience of its young athletes. Despite a tough match against Portugal, where Romania was defeated 67-13, the team demonstrated determination and skill throughout the tournament.

The match took place on Saturday in Santiago de Chile, and while the score reflected a challenging game, several players stood out. Mihai-Antonio Mitrea not only scored a try but also contributed with a penalty kick, while Alexandru Boldor added another try to the scoreboard, highlighting their individual efforts.

Throughout the tournament, Romania faced various opponents and recorded notable results, including a narrow victory against Brazil, winning 27-26, and a solid performance against Hong Kong, securing a 29-22 win.
