Ireland top Pool D after Romanian romp 44-10 at Wembley in Rugby World Cup 2015
Share
Match in a minute coming to you from Wembley where Ireland comfortably beat Romania 44-10 infront of a Rugby World Cup all-time attendance record of 89,267
Tommy Bowe scored the opening try, before Keith Earls notched either side of half-time to go level with Brian O'Driscoll as lreland's leading all-time try scorer in Rugby World Cups.
The first came from superb vision from Simon Zebo with 30m misspass , the second through a clever grubber kick from Eoin Reddan.
Romania suffered further as Csaba Gal was sin-binned and Ireland scoring twice in the following three minutes – Bowe in the corner again and a Zebo line break setting up Rob Kearney.
Chris Henry then scored a catch and drive before Ovidiu Tonita claimed a consolation try.
Ireland top Pool D but tougher test awaits in Italy and France, though will have a rested Jonny Sexton to return - win both and the men in green will avoid a quarter-final against the All Blacks, and probably face Argentina.
