England v Romania

Summary

Time	Score
1	3 - 0	Easy for Wilkinson - bisects the posts with ease - who had any worries over his kicking??!

32	27 - 0	Wilkinson slots the extras with ease

69	65 - 3	Brilliant rugby from England - Tindall brings the ball up before offloading to Haskell who shifts it to Ashton and it's his turn to get the hat-trick score
