    I don't know fully, I've never performed romanian deadlifts, but after seeing the form of RLDs, your glutes seem to be arched backwards, and seems to be doing most of the lift.There is also a slight bend in the knew while the weight hits the floor, thus possibly removing some of the work your hamstrings do. I found a great video on youtube, read the whole video description, it states the difference between the two quite nicely.
