In the 1980s, rugby enjoyed a golden era in Romania thanks to the support of the notorious Communist dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu. A team consisting mainly of army and police officers enjoyed a string of famous victories until the overthrow of the regime in 1989 put their lives in danger. Robert Nicholson speaks to former Romanian international, Haralambie Dumitras. The programme is a Whistledown Production. (Photo: The Romanian rugby team, in yellow, in action in the 1980s.
