| MATCH NOTES Portugal's first outing since the 2007 Rugby World Cup was a disappointing loss at home. Romania, again without the bulk of their French-based contingent, were able to turn defeat against Russia earlier in November, to a win away against Portugal. Bagiu, Coste, Basalau and Mihalache were making their test debut for Romania. At 36 years of age, Mihalache is one of the oldest debutants in world test rugby. Poparlan's try was his first for Romania. Dobre had last played for Romania in November 2004 against Wales. Sarmento last played for Portugal in June 2004, v Barbarians RFC. Acosta last played for Portugal v Uruguay June 2006. Yellow Cards: Csaba Gal (Romania) 39m; Flavius Dobre (Romania) 77m.
