Career

Iordăchescu is considered by many the most valuable referee in Romanian Rugby.[2]

Iordăchescu refereed 3 matches at the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship in New Zealand: Australia v Italy, France v Fiji and the 11th place game Fiji v Italy.[3]

He refereed international Rugby union tests as early as 2009.
