Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Ireland versus Romania at Wembley. Stay tuned for full text commentary.

The Wembley crowd roar in appreciation as Ireland turn down a gettable three points in favour of a kick to the corner.

There's a brief stoppage as the Ireland physios bring out a mirror and a bit of contact lens solution to help Cian Healy get his vision back up to the sort of level you need for international sport.

Madigan hits the post with his conversion from out on the touchline.

TRY! Keith Earls shows the drifting Romanian defence a clean pair of heels as he takes Zebo's looping pass and bursts down the line to score in the corner.

A horrible bounce over the head of Fercu puts the full-back under pressure, but he recycles the ball well and Romania hoof it into touch and reset their defensive line.

That is exactly what Ireland do, but they get men in-front of the ball carrier before the maul is set and the penalty gives Romania a chance to clear their lines and enjoy a quick breather.

Ireland kick for the corner and will no doubt look to the towering Toner to claim and set up a maul.

An offside decision brings a brief spell of Romanian pressure to an end and they're back inside their own 22 once again. Talk about professional from Ireland! They are ruthlessly dealing with a potentially tough opponent at Wembley today.

That score came from a quite spectacular high take by Keith Earls, who has been at the centre of everything good about this Ireland performance in the opening quarter. Brilliant with the ball in hand, offloading well out of the tackle and imperious under the high ball, Earls is staking a claim for a starting place in bigger games to come.

It's a tricky conversion, right out on the whitewash, but Madigan slots it expertly to give his side a ten-point cushion.

TRY! This time the TMO finds no reason to deny the score as Tommy Bowe does superbly to touch down right in the corner. That was a world-class finish by a player who hasn't been at his best this season.

Madigan makes Romania pay for their sloppiness at the breakdown with another long-range penalty. 6-3.

Was that the low point of Zebo's week? Somehow I think not...

NO TRY! Wow, that's unfortunate. Ireland counter from deep, but there's still plenty to do when Zebo picks the ball up, chips it through for himself and touches down in the corner. However, the TMO spots that Zebo's toe was still touching the floor when he reclaimed his kick and disallows the try.

Payne is pinged for not rolling away and Calafeteanu makes no mistake from the tee to pull Romania level. They will be delighted to see the score at 3-3 given the pressure they've been under in the opening ten minutes.

It really is quite a turn-out in north London today.
