Match Commentary

81'		From ESPN's Tom Hamilton at the Olympic Stadium: This was not really a game for the purists, or a game for those who liked expansive rugby. For 70 minutes of the game, Romania went toe-to-toe with France in the forwards and the only time Les Bleus got any ball in space was due to poor kicking from the yellow-clad opposition. A visibly frustrated Philippe Saint-Andre gave France a half-time rocket and it was only tiring legs that allowed them to pull away in the latter stages. Guitoune did well to get his brace of scores while Fofana coming through the 80 minutes unscathed is perhaps the best outcome for France. Romania battled valiantly but eventually the lack of strength off their bench cost them dear
81'		38-11 End of second half
80'		Guitoune almost away after a high kick - he was on a hat trick - but the ball bounces out and that is full time! Full time and it is France 38-11 Romania. Valiant effort from #ROM #RWC2015 — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) September 23, 2015
