With his first-half score DTH van der Merwe is now second in the top try scorer table at the World Cup.

New Zealand's Julian Savea leads the way with five tries.

Van Der Merwe is also first on most metres made with 381m.

Front-man banker ball from Ray Barkwell. Brett Beukeboom takes it cleanly and Canada boot into the stands to take an eight-point lead back to the shed.

  Florin Surugiu's kick fades away short and Romania are yet to trouble the scorers.  

Nick Blevins has a bit of a brain freeze - taking the ball at first reciever and slowing to a standstill as he fails to pick between going left or right and doing neither.

Obstruction is called and Romania scrum-half Florin Surugiu is going to give it a hoof for goal from around halfway.

Canada's DTH Van Der Merwe is the first player representing a tier two nation to score a try in four  successive World Cup matches after scores against Ireland, France and Italy.

Romania might be a man light, but they have shoved both the Canada defence and the possession bar backwards over the past 20 minutes. However, Canada are still dominant. Surely only a matter of time before they extend their lead...

Canada are playing some total rugby here. Flankers Jebb Sinclair and John Moonlight combine out wide. But the Romania defence is holding firm.

No it isn't! Jeff Hassler up to within five metres!

The rain is lashing down again, smashing in to the stands and making an almighty din. The handling has hardly been faultless so far and this isn't going to help. The other almighty din is that of the Canadian fans, with a regular - if not altogether imaginative - refrain of 'Let's Go Canada, Let's Go'.

It seemed to work though, helping their side win a penalty at a scrum close to their own line and get back up to halfway.

The sin-bin period is over. Romania full-back Catalin Fercu is back on the pitch and nothing has changed scoreline wise since he left.

That's the danger! Romania go for the set-piece, but Canada win that round of the scrum-wrestle.

Romania hooker Otar Turashvili pops up like a mole on a fairground game and Wayne Barnes whacks him with a penalty.

Canada clear their lines and thank their forwards.

Romania rumbling, Canada creaking. A red shirt gets on the wrong side in a desperate attempt to slow up the waves of attack.

King Kanut style.

Referee Barnes awards a penalty. Romania call for the scrum.

Romania turn the screw at scrum-time. They are getting the upper hand there.

A penalty as Canada pop up in the front row. And it has been booted into the corner for a Romania line-out within sniffing distance.

Absolutely rodding it down in Leicester - the rain drumming a tune on the roof of the stands.

It is not doing anything for Canada's adventurous gameplan. Full-back Harry Jones spills forward as he attempts to off-load out of the tackle.

Gordon McRorie steps up and looks down the barrel of another makeable penalty.

But, in teeming rain, the Canada scrum-half has lost his way. The ball screws off his boot and wide.

Max Baggins-Craig:  Looks to be an interesting 1, playing for country pride perhaps?. Both struggled against France & just about unlucky after. Draw?..

Wayne Barnes wants a second look at this. Nick Blevins has been sent crashing back to earth, back-first, as he attempts to claim an aerial ball.

The replay reveals that Romania full-back Catalin Fercu is the cause, staying on terra firma and catching the Cannuck.

Yellow card for dangerous play and a 10-minute power play for Canada.
