BORDEAUX, France, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Romania know they are outgunned but believe they will be able to take much from their meeting with world champions South Africa in a Rugby World Cup Pool B clash in Bordeaux on Sunday as coach Eugen Apjok relishes another fixture against a tier 1 nation. "We expect a very tough game," Apjok told reporters on Friday. All the players played their first game in a World Cup so all the emotions and everything is gone now. "We have analysed them, they have a strong pack and they have a good scrum, so we expect (it to be tough). The teams have met before at the World Cup as South Africa won 21-8 on home soil on their way to lifting the trophy for the first time in 1995.
