LEICESTER (Reuters) - Given what is at stake in Romania's Rugby World Cup Pool D clash against Canada on Tuesday, the match might more suitably have been staged up the road at Derby's Pride Park.

Leicester is very much the premier rugby city of the East Midlands, however, so it is there that the tier two nations will battle it out for a first victory of the tournament.
