France beat Romania 38-11 in their second Group D Rugby World Cup after tries from Sofiane Guitoune, Yannick Nyanga, Wesley Fofana and Gael Fickou.

France have beaten Romania 38-11 in their second Group D Rugby World Cup match after tries from Sofiane Guitoune, Yannick Nyanga, Wesley Fofana and Gael Fickou.

Morgan Parra opened the scoring for France with eight minutes on the clock by converting a penalty.

Florin Vlaicu then charged over the try line for Romania, but was denied by the TMO due to the ball not touching the ground. Nonetheless, the 82-cap centre levelled things with a penalty very shortly after due to an offside for France.

Vlaicu had a chance to put his side ahead with 25 minutes gone, but mis-hit a penalty which went wide of the posts.

Romania were down to 14 men shortly after, with Paulico Ion dismissed for 10 minutes after dragging a scrum down illegally.

It took France less than a minute to make use of the player advantage as Guitoune stretched to force the ball over the line, with Parra securing the conversion.

Les Bleus grabbed their second try of the evening with just over five minutes until half time thanks to Yannick Nyanga, who was found by Noa Nakaitaci on the right wing and touched the ball over.

Vlaicu punted over a penalty as the half-time whistle blew, but it was France who went in with the advantage at the break.

It took over 25 minutes of the second period for the scoreboard to see any changes, with France waiting patiently for their third try before Guitoune was able to stretch an arm out to score his second of the match while under pressure.

After Parra converted, Wesley Fofana then went over to secure a bonus point for Les Bleus, having to reach over his head to place the ball beyond the try line while under pressure from Madalin Lemnaru.

Romania picked up a consolation try with six minutes remaining in the match as Andrei Radoi drove the ball over the line, but France punished their opponents once again late on with Gael Fickou weaving through for his side's fifth try of the night, and Rory Kockott converted to complete the scoring.
