France made heavy weather of beating Romania, 38‑11, eventually picking up a bonus point win after an underwhelming display.

After being thoroughly outplayed at the breakdown, France needed a ten‑minute spell with an extra man to finally break Romania down in the first half, with Sofiane Guitoune and Yannick Nyanga crossing to give them a 17‑6 half‑time lead.

Looking at the other games this weekend, the All Blacks will take on Namibia at 7am tomorrow while Argentina will take on Georgia at 3.45am this Saturday.
