Figure image
Ben Youngs and Manu Tuilagi scored their second tries of the Rugby World Cup as England eased to a 67-3 bonus-point victory over Romania in Dunedin on Saturday morning.

Youngs and Tuilagi, who has now scored four tries in five international starts, both crossed in the second-half as England made it three wins from three World Cup fixtures.

They were joined on the scoresheet by their Leicester Tigers teammate Tom Croft, who scored his first try of the Rugby World Cup, as England ran in 10 tries to stay top of Pool B.

There were hat-tricks for Mark Cueto (Sale Sharks) and Chris Ashton (Northampton Saints) and a second try of the tournament for Northampton’s Ben Foden.

Tigers Dan Cole, Croft, Louis Deacon, Tuilagi and Youngs started the game and Toby Flood came off the bench at half-time as a replacement for Jonny Wilkinson.
