Conversion by Vlaicu is good.

It's a one point game!

06 Oct 2015

Wayne Barnes to be offered Canadian citizenship?

Instead of a 5m scrum to Romania, Canada win a penalty.

06 Oct 2015

62' Canada survive.

They wait until the jumper is down and they just use all their men to push the maul out.

Fantastic effort.

06 Oct 2015

5m out now...

06 Oct 2015

Romania have missed 15 to Canada's 8.

06 Oct 2015

50' A good kick from Canada goes bad as Romania run from inside their 22m - twinkle toes down the line and way...

They move into Canada's half, really looked out to me but fortune favours the Romanians.

06 Oct 2015

49' Bad mistake from Romania as they kick the ball deep and over the Canadian deep ball line.

06 Oct 2015

47' Romania attack but Canada stand up to the challenge - they've hardly had to tackle in this match so they still fresh.

Change of kickers - and it works as Hirayama pops over the conversion!

06 Oct 2015

STATS DON'T LIE

This is the lowest scoring first half of the RWC 2015.

Possesion: Canada 65% - 35% Romania

Territory: Canada 67% - 33% Romania

Metres made: Canada 348 - 115 Romania

06 Oct 2015

Halftime!

Low scoring 40 minutes but not due to a lack of trying by Canada - they have run almost all their ball and only some resolute defending has kept Romania in this one.
