Romania chief quits in anger

Boss Loss: Trouble brewing in Romania

Romania manager Tudor Constantin has quit after just two months in the job after claiming that members of the Romanian Rugby Federation (FRR) were not up to the task.

"I quit because there are a lot of incompetent people over there [at the FRR] with whom I never want to work with again," said Constantin.

Despite rumours to the contrary, Constantin stressed that his departure had nothing to do with the recent appointment of Ellis Meachen of New Zealand as Romania's director of rugby, adding that the arrival of the former Tonga assistant coach was "the best thing that could have happened to the national team".

Constantin, who played for the Oaks between 1992 and 2002 and captained the side during their 1999 World Cup campaign, was appointed a few days after the Oaks were eliminated from the 2007 World Cup in France.

Marin Mot, who replaced Daniel Santamans as head coach at the same time, remains at the helm.
