Romania maintained their push for Rugby World Cup 2011 qualification by completing a two-leg success over Ukraine with a 61-7 victory in Botosani, Romania.

The Romanians already held a 33-3 advantage after the first leg in Ukraine and never looked like relinquishing this as they secured a play-off match against Tunisia in July.

The winner of that match will meet either Uruguay or Asian 5 Nations runners up Kazakhstan in the final play-off for the last remaining place, in Pool B, at RWC 2011.

Stefan Ciuntu and captain Sorin Socol both scored two tries for Romania, who had established a 35-0 lead by half time. Ukraine's only try was scored late on by lock Viacheslav Krasylnyk.
