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.
