USA run Romania ragged

The USA Eagles eased past Romania 34-3 in Bucharest on Saturday, with Chris Wyles collecting a personal haul of 19 points.

The visitors crossed the whitewash on five occasions with Wyles bagging a brace, while Andrew Suniula, Paul Emerick and Takudzwa Ngwenya also added their name to the scoresheet.

The game was all but wrapped up by half-time as the Americans led 22-3, with pivot Andrei Filip providing the only points for Romania.

The end result, thanks to a committed performance by the forwards, was one of the Eagles most impressive victories in years.
