We wanted a win, a bonus point and no injuries from today's clash with Romania and it seems we got at least two of the three.

Joe Schmidt will have been glad to see much of his second choice players perform very well in the 44-10 win over the Eastern Europeans this afternoon in Wembley. However the win was marred by a late injury to Rob Kearney, who appeared to suffer a muscle problem when he ran over for the last try of the game in the final few minutes.
