Rugby Europe: Georgia Defeats Romania, Wins Antim Cup

Georgian Rugby

Georgia’s national rugby team has defeated Romania 28:7 in the Rugby Europe Championship 2021 in Tbilisi and won the Antim Cup on Sunday.

The Antim Cup is contested between the rugby union teams of Romania (The Oaks) and Georgia (The Lelos). It is named after the Metropolis of Muntenia and Dobrudja Antim the Iberian, who was originally a Georgian.

The Antim Cup is contested each time Georgia and Romania meet in a senior international match other than World Cup matches. The holder retains the cup unless the challenger wins the match in normal time.
