Graham magic keeps Scotland's World Cup last-eight hopes intact

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 on Saturday.

Scotland sit third in Pool B after the bonus-point win and head to Paris to face the world's top-ranked team Ireland next Saturday.

They will need victory at the Stade de France to at least finish on the same number of points as Ireland.

Second-placed South Africa would be favoured to beat Tonga on Sunday with a bonus point and therefore finish on 15 points in the table, but they now have to make sure they deliver a clinical performance in Marseille (kick-off 21:00).

Romania remain winless in a tournament they reached after Spain were thrown out for fielding an ineligible player during qualifying and have conceded 242 points in their opening three games.

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.

The sizeable contingent of visiting Scottish fans made their voices heard after filling the northern French town's bars and pubs during the day.

Their team underlined their need to score at least four tries and build a healthy lead by choosing to kick to the corner over two shots at goal and their early intent was rewarded as flanker Hamish Watson opened the scoring after a delicate Cameron Redpath off-load.
