Cueto is down once again receiving treatment that that right knee and Poitre has decided that enough is enough and puts an end to the clash.
80+1
Flood breaks for England. They recycle the ball across the field to Tindall who has pretty much played himself to a standstill. England get a penalty but time has run out. They'll have to tap and go if they want another try ...
80'
Dumbrava breaks for Romania ... he chips upfield and although Foden fails to collect, Tindall is the next Englishman there and he dives on it. Romania could be in real trouble now as England look to run it from their own half ...
77'
England continue to push for another try. The ball just bounces off Tindall's shoulder. Armitage collects before offloading to Ashton but he is denied a fourth as Poitre has decided the ball went forward
73'
Romania retain possession despite boucing a pass of Mike Tindall's head. Dumbrava chips upfield and even collects himself. But he just takes his eye off the ball at the last minute and instead knocks on. Delon Armitage collects and runs the length of the pitch for a what he thinks is a try but the whistle has already gone and he will have to come all the way back

CONVERSION ENGLAND! 67-3! Flood has been very solid since coming on at halftime and sure enough he adds the conversion from right out on the left wing

TRY ENGLAND! 65-3! England run the ball from their own half, Foden passing in from touch to Flood ... The ball gets recycled through once again and eventually finds its way out through Mike Tindall to Chris Ashton, who wins the foot-race for the line in the left corner

CONVERSION ENGLAND! 60-3! Flood takes England up to 60 points as he easily adds the conversion for Croft's try

TRY ENGLAND! 58-3! Brilliant again from England. They spread the ball wide across towards the right wing. Palmer pops the ball up for Tuilagi, again on the angle. He offloads to Croft and it is Croft who runs over in the end for the try. A great whole-team try by England
66'
Ashton and others push Romania back about 10m up to the Romanian 22 ...
64'
Dumbrava squanders a golden opportunity to add another three points to Romania's tally but he pulls his penalty kick wide across the front of the posts. Shocking miss from the Romanian flyhalf. And Flood boots upfield and into Romanian territory

TRY ENGLAND! 51-3! England get the penatly from the back of the scrum after a series of failed scrums from Romania. A couple of passes across the field from Engalnd and Tuilagi recieves the ball, forcing his way through a poor tackle and running over without any trouble
58'
England on the break again as Cueto is nearly put through for his fourth try of the day. The pass isn't fantastic from Moody and Cueto fails to collect, instead knocking on. It will be a Romanian scrum, deep inside their own half
56'
Romania knock on and Flood boots upfield. Apostol just collects and flings the ball back infield for no-one in particular. Ashton is there to dive straight on Vlaicu who has done well to collect
55'
England are standing firmly in defence as Romania, playing advantage, get a second chance at the scrum five and drive for the line. They are less than five metres out now as the crowd try to cheer the underdogs over the line ...
54'
Romania think they have scored a try when they crash over the line. They haven't heard the whistle though as Poitre said the lineout wasn't straight. There will be a scrum five ...
53'
Romania are enjoying an extended period of possession as Dumbrava takes the ball forward. England think they've turned the ball over by going over the top but Haskell is (wrongly) penalised for offside

CONVERSION ENGLAND! 46-3! This time Flood does add the conversion, Foden having touched down right in between the posts

TRY ENGLAND! 44-3! Flood finds Tuilagi on the angle after the lineout. Tuilagi does he stuff running into the Romanian 22 before offloading to Foden on the outside, and the England fullback has his name on the scoresheet!
