The head coach has made 13 changes to his starting XV for the must-win match against the Pool B minnows in Lille this weekend.
Romania have been annihilated in their first two pool games, losing 76-0 to Ireland and 82-8 against South Africa. Townsend is unfazed by the expectation on his side from outside the camp to deliver a similarly emphatic win.
“It will be a different game to what most of these players are used to. It’s not a Six Nations game and there will be a different way of defending.
