Canada takes on No. 11 Georgia next Saturday in Batumi before facing No. 20 Portugal on Nov. 22 in Coimbra. Georgia defeated the 15th-ranked U.S. Eagles 43-30 earlier Saturday in Batumi.

Ovidiu Cojocaru, Cristi Chirică and Tevita Manumua scored tries for No. 21 Romania. Conache booted four penalties and two conversions.

Mason Flesch, Piers Von Dadelszen and Barnaby Waddell scored tries for Canada, which had two players sent to the sin-bin in the second half. Peter Nelson kicked three conversions.
