Realizing they were in full sunlight, Johnny Sexton simply nodded to his captain, the other captain, and said, "Hey, why don't we take two steps forward? We'll be in the shade so we both teams can sing the anthem in the shadows. Phil Brickerman was there. you're cleaning the tier pitch sites like that with sweat yeah a lot so the really smart players Gareth mentioned get into the shade after training this summer in up to 45 degree heat expect this to be a wear for Ireland, however, they have to play with Savvy. The heat is a bit different when you're up against the number one team in the

world

, who were badly damaged by their experience in Japan four years ago, which he straightened out, but it's a great opportunity for these players from Romania, one of the best players of

rugby

.

European Championship 56 charges he made with the ball in hand and Maria shimionesku deployed at fullback today the Romanians are already going to get the kick off Ireland we are in a meeting they are starting to get to center field too Johnny Sexton the returning Irishman The Giants kick off Rugby World Cup Group B and Romania immediately find a sure touch, island look to launch this multi-phased attack of theirs, making Romania advance quickly, but the Rose ring rolls past a pair of Sexton and drops it for Els to chase Romania's blood, oh. The mighty Oaks, tall. This is the stuff of Romanian dreams.

Excellent awareness of his part and when the kick came Chase came in and had the pace to go through and Rapanu Watson got his man from him. Great internal support to start the Romanian Oaks. looking at Johnny Sexton, the oldest man to play for Ireland now aged 38. Beating John Hayes' record of 37 by a bit Gibson Park numbers Sexton for Ireland gets hands free ring Rose Gibson Park that's Ireland yes the fact that he waited on that pass that made all the difference that Texan to see the hall in the Romanian defense and then great awareness, perception and reward for their efforts, Jamison Gibson Park, Lowe's out of his way, curls inside nekulao, important tackle, Gibson Park, change of direction to Sexton Omani for Ryan for Keenan. turn and score so many options available to irish players good decision from a kid keep the ball up the pitch don't get isolated immediate support then look at player options everywhere to be used by the ball carrier at the end a good turn from Keenan gets it during the break statistically the most successful Ireland manager of the professional era having overseen 38 games Ireland have won 31 of them 81.5 record wins come the men in green again James law out that Wing looking for a job kick tested l 2 picked up by Keenan Romania desperately fighting for the island with the penalty Advantage Sexton Peter O'Malley oh he has blown the Irish back and the man who was covering that was in fact manamoa, he went from the side of the field , he's the one covering space he's wide open that's quality execution from Ireland but he's not going to run off the top of Pike that's an inlet he nicknamed himself Jukebox why because of the Hits keep coming, 12th advantage penalties are green due to the heat, stay tuned as these players will get extra drinks. breaking it is the referee's option uh but this is the carry here Iris's hand takes it and tears it off the advantage was already being played for the Irish being offside from the previous Ruck ER breaks 19 points to eight and some more water breaks to

romania

ns cheer as we head to source captain takes safe possession then lets go Gibson Park cuts him off that's cynical Kelly goes to pocket cynical pro fell from

romania

didn't go back 10 meters tripping over ball on ground cynical action by tackler and they We're down to 14 men, the rest of the South Mario Simeone, head of the kicker in the chase here, as the Irish are threatening, obviously, it's a higher threshold here, any professional foul or kill the play, that ball came out by the side, he was there with his hand.

Ruck, I'm not really sure what the yellow car's defense is, sir, who's calling Rose. This is too fast for Stefan Yanku. Too fast for Manamura. Too hot to handle for Romania. The big bad. Bundy on a one-man mission. Opportunity for Bandiaki. There are good download options. as you're saying all over the park and the pace difference, Aki won handsomely, beautiful shots coming from our camera operators around the stadium, manumua caught the trusty Yankee to make the entrance, yanku didn't have the pace and Val Vassar lost about 30 kilos. in weight will never stop Johnny Sexton 83 of those 90 seconds, but turning them into kites in a considerable box of Tricks advantages my cue, watch out for that Gibson Park, another fast top of the Irish Gibson Park caught by the neck in bandiaki that is rampaging again and in, goes to Sexton, okay, we got him the Return of the King, well, the high tackle got him going, touch penalty so quick, great awareness, Iranians couldn't put up a wall, just back off here .

Sexton screams for the ball, but look. In this, he was hit late when he was under the pose. I think it's a fair tackle to be fair because he slowed down but he was holding his hand as he got up, that's something Irish

rugby

fans will be watching out for. as he slows down here, so I think he's a sitting duck to be tackled while he's coming down, it's not his left hand, is it? Gareth gets trapped underneath him and you can see it clearly in Johnny Six, so if Luke can kill, he's spitting to get him. that right boot is working again, it's another two out of six, so he may not look too happy with that, but he's racking up the points.

The stadium starts the second half for Armenia and Keelan's dollars attack oh he has dominance in the first stop. continuing when it ended in the seconds we have the penalty Advantage Sexton releasing under who is the atomized men's side Advantage Jason Thomas up the former New Zealand Maori international penalty here here and here getting an easier read do you want it out there? oh dollars take Ireland shoot no hands Amelia put it down good The reloads and restarts of the Irish pack will roll around the corner leaving closer and closer to try for number six Romania can see the penalty advantage for Doris not back Gibson Park fooling around and threatening and he got help from Bundy Aki, he wants it, what's the bench for, those hits, they gave McCarthy, it's that a punishment this time will bring them back for that Irish penalty. a bit free, an interesting decision here, they've tapped a few pens, keep an eye out and there will be a tap and a shake from the big boys up front, they tilt their shoulder and Rob's over 15 and 19 audiences didn't. be selected for the teams, well, let's try and open, voted for by Johnny Sexton, who is Island with 40 points.

A beautiful moment for Haley, yes, for a man who debuted in 2014 against Argentina, it has been a long road, but he looks how low he is, he is still leading. legs and that is his option as a ball carrier, he is allowed to reach out as a tackle player and score the try. beautiful pass beautiful ball to Herring here goes pandiyaki for a double, but it's a fabulous tackle from Simeon Esq cutting into the marauding giant Center Sexton. he is on low burn looking from the outside Earls is with him too low he goes alone the money helps himself to fight more points continuing with this engaging ring defense he does well here he almost reaches the line then he simply recycles and Peter Armani is a good time to try the World Cup Right foot, right side for him, clean hit, double kick.

Sexton throws there, they move it. Sexton Aki is not quite Murray. Around the corner comes Ian Henderson driving and unable to hit. Pretty lost. Four Irish to the left of any defense. McCarthy takes it hard. instead Murray Sexton tries Ireland lots of pressure, the Romanians got sucked in there, so the section just gets a flat ball to the right, screaming to get it, adds to their tally. Nice finish, sends him away for Mark Hanson dancing in the sun. Hansen smoking between two tacklers. without it, romania can take it, he launches on the rampage, halfway it's on youtube, who kicks it and Keenan covers his back, who wants to kick the ball, instead he gives it to James Law, who doesn't He wants to kick the ball.

Ireland want a thunder player there will be lungs like Chris packs among these players. Hanson wants to run from 95 meters and why not, when you are as fast as the attractive Cashion you can't achieve it. Gunten, that's a breathless ending to a power sampling contest. lochman faced tomal tool finally got knocked down by cher this is about point spread you never know at the end of the tournament he's in for a hat-trick a leg-burning power-buy finisher inevitably ends with more iris joy all the Irish players have done their job, they have given this huge traveling Irish support something to cheer about, but for the first minute remaining, one got on the board, the Irish have been in full flight.

AS was tagging in Brown, there he looks a little dead behind the eyes, typo and he's exhausted. Crowley. makes the 82. Job emphatically done for Ireland scoring two of their dozen tries and after Romania backed up the opening goal it's been a tsunami of green flowing into the Oaks dry line 12 tries secured bonus points more than ensure the score of full time: Ireland 82 Romania eats
