England enjoyed a night out on the field of play at Romania's expense and so did the fans especially the fellow with Mock Swallow Dive,

A 'Try Fest' all around and the discipline much better but credit to the Romanians, they never gave up trying to play and take their chances when they had them. Having said that they missed a number of kicks on goal which would have made the score board look much more presentable for them, if they had got them!
Englands Lewis Moody recieves treatment for an injury
England had a couple of worrying moments with injuries especially to Captain Lewis Moody, when he and Tindall went up for a high ball and Tindall catching Moody in the leg. Hopefully Lewis is ok.
Wilkinson started the first half of the match scored a penalty and converted three but again missed a couple of kicks to goal which is very un-Wilkinson like. Second half saw Toby Flood take on the No10 mantle,he looked sharp from the off although he did miss his first kick but he only just come on so we will forgive him that one eh?
England's Mark Cueto scores a try
Hat Tricks for Cueto and Ashton. Tries for Youngs, Foden, Tuilagi and Croft all in all a much better performance however, it has to be said it should have been due to Romania's world rankings. England should be scoring like this against a lower ranking side.

And so onwards and upwards to the 'Auld Enemy' the Scots......... Aghhhh a different kettle of fish this next match will be, you mark my words.
