Ben Healy scores 27 points as Scotland warm-up for Ireland with 12-try win against Romania

Gregor Townsend’s side face Ireland in a massive Pool B clash next Saturday.

DARCY GRAHAM SCORED four tries among his country’s 12 as Scotland maintained their hopes of reaching the knockout stage of the Rugby World Cup by thrashing Romania 84-0, with Ben Healy scoring 27 points on his first appearance at the tournament.Scotland sit third in Pool B after the bonus-point win and head to Paris to face Ireland next Saturday. They will need victory at the Stade de France to at least finish on the same number of points as Ireland.

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend made 13 changes to his side from last Sunday’s win over Tonga with former abattoir worker Jamie Bhatti and ex-butcher Javan Sebastian starting on either side of the scrum at prop against the Romanians, who are 14 places below them in the world rankings. Irish-born out-half Healy kicked the touchline conversion to make it 7-0 after 10 minutes, setting the tone for a Scotland stroll.

Scotland comfortably led 42-0 at the interval as the omnipresent 26-year-old Graham claimed two further tries, and the crucial bonus point, either side of No. 8 Matt Fagerson crashing over, for Scotland’s biggest ever half-time advantage.
