After impressing for Romania at last year's Under-21 World Cup, Dumbrava now gets his crack at the senior showpiece.

A powerful presence in defence, the 22-year-old also has a good turn of pace and an astute kicking game.

Made his Test debut last November and goes into the World Cup with six caps to his name, a tally that will surely increase in the years to come.
