42 minutes ago 3:11PM 32 mins – YELLOW CARD! Romania full-back Marius Simionescu is sent to the bin for an infringement with Ireland on their try-line. It comes from a quick tap penalty by Sexton, with Lowe right there to support him. Penalty Ireland, and Romania down to 14 for the next 10 minutes. 52 minutes ago 3:01PM 23 mins – Ireland very nearly have their fourth try, and they’re getting good, clean, quick ball at the ruck which Romania can’t really live with. Lowe backs himself one-on-one with a little stutter step, and while that beats full-back Marius Simionescu, Jason Tomane is covering across. Lowe turns back inside to try to find Earls, but the ball is lost forward. Scrum Romania.
