Rokocoko stars for All Blacks

New Zealand continued their march through the World Cup with a crushing 85-8 victory over minnows Romania in Toulouse.

There was little riding on the Pool C match, with the All Blacks having already swept into the quarter-finals on the back of emphatic wins over Italy, Portugal and Scotland.

Yet they showed great desire to take their points tally - 224 going into the match - over 300 by running in 13 tries - including a hat-trick from Joe Rokocoko.

Sitiveni Sivivatu and Isaia Toeava also crossed twice for the tournament favourites.

Luke McAlister and Nick Evans kicked 10 conversions between them, while the latter also weighed in with a try

Marius Tincu scored Romania's only try, with Florin Vlaicu kicking a penalty.
