Scotland Dominates Romania with Darcy Graham’s Four Tries, Setting Up Exciting Ireland Showdown

The Scottish rugby team dominated their match against Romania, scoring six tries in each half and securing a convincing victory. This win follows their impressive performances against Ireland and South Africa in the Pool B matches. The Scotts aimed to secure a bonus point or deny their opponents from getting one, in order to advance to the quarter-finals.

One player who stood out during the match was Darcy Graham. Starting the match with 20 international tries, he went on to score a remarkable hat-trick in the first half and added another try in the second half. With these impressive plays, Graham surpassed both Duhan van der Merwe and Chris Paterson, achieving a total of 24 tries. Graham now shares the record with Tony Stanger and Ian Smith, and is just three tries away from breaking the record held by Stuart Hogg.

The Scottish team displayed great confidence in their victory, making 13 changes to the starting lineup from their previous match against Tonga. This decision paid off, with the team performing exceptionally well throughout the match. They took an early lead with a try from Hamish Watson in the eighth minute, followed by another try from Ali Price in the 17th minute. Graham continued to make his mark, scoring a try just four minutes later. Romania struggled to keep up with the Scots and faced further difficulties with three players receiving yellow cards and conceding more tries.

In the second half, the Scottish team maintained their momentum and continued to dominate the game. Chris Harris, Ollie Smith, and Johnny Matthews all contributed with tries, showcasing the team’s depth and talent. Darcy Graham had a stellar performance, scoring his fourth try of the night and bringing the Scots close to their second-highest World Cup victory.
