Four-try Darcy Graham helps Scotland thrash Romania and set up Ireland showdownBy Anthony Brown, PA, LilleDarcy Graham climbed from sixth to joint-second on Scotland’s all-time try-scorer list with four touchdowns in a resounding 84-0 victory over Romania which sets up a mouth-watering World Cup shootout with Ireland next weekend. Romania – already bang up against it – completely imploded in the closing 10 minutes of the first half when they had three players sin-binned and conceded a further three tries. Scotland took full advantage as Graham scored his second of the evening to move ahead of Van der Merwe and level with Paterson. All six first-half tries were converted by Healy as the Scots went in 42-0 to the good at half-time. The scores kept coming after the break, with Chris Harris, Smith, Healy, Johnny Matthews – shortly after coming on for his debut – and Darge all touching down.
