Romanian rugby player Florin Surugiu has married his partner Alexandria four months after proposing to her after a Rugby World Cup match.

The halfback got down on one knee after his side was beaten 44-10 by Ireland at Wembley during last year's tournament.

The 31-year-old CSM Bucuresti player wasted no time after the match, with some of the 89,267 fans who attended the game still watching on.

The Romanian squad, who surrounded the couple, broke out in a round of applause for the newly engaged couple, including coach Lynn Howells, who originally advised Surugiu not to propose after a match so he'd keep focused.

During the World Cup, Romania beat Canada 17-15 to record their first, and only, win of the tournament.
