Match Commentary

81'		44-10 End of second half
80'		Tommy Bowe's looking for his hat trick - but the Romania defence provides one final effort to keep him out. Joubert awards the penalty and Romania kick into touch - and that's the final whistle at Wembley! ESPN's Tom Hamilton at Wembley - Simon Zebo was Ireland's chief magician in a backline full of inventive sorcery in front of a record World Cup crowd of 89,267. They played at a relentless pace with Rob Kearney's try a textbook lift from the training paddock. However, the sight of him limping off the field late in the second-half will put a cloud over this commanding win. Romania, for all their efforts, were never in this game. Two matches in five days were far too much for their weary legs. Ireland were ruthless but are still attempting to reach top gear. Alongside Zebo, Chris Henry impressed as did Jared Payne and a haul of 10 points from a possible 10 is the perfect start for Joe Schmidt's men. That final match of the pool against France is brewing nicely. Full-time at Wembley - #IRE 44-10 #ROM #RWC2015 #IREvROM — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) September 27, 2015
