Valentin Ursache Bio
Valentin Ursache may not have the most natural build for a lock forward, but he has still been an important part of the
Romanian squad since his debut against
Italy in 2004. His form for Aix-en-Provence has also been highly commended by local journalists. He made two appearances at the 2007 World Cup.
