48 mins: Jekyll and Hyde stuff from Scotland again. Veteran Chris Paterson, playing in his fourth World Cup, goes for the corner, but is tackled. However, there was an offside earlier - penalty awarded. They elect to run with it but lose the ball and Romania clear.
45 mins: The wind is causing all sorts of errors. Scotland win a penalty on the right but Chris Paterson fails to slot his kick over.
Another anon on 81111: "Completely anihilated up front poor handling, poor game management. At least were playing in to the wind 2nd half. Numerous bad performers but parks has to come on with this wind. Come on boys! "
Hey Anon-types! I want your names and tell me where you're all from.
meganxpoison on Twitter: "Think Scotland came into this game expecting the win, now they're needing to play for it."
41 mins: Scotland kick off the second half. Handling error by Mike Blair - eye not on the ball.
Anon on 81111:"Which way is the wind blowing, with Scotland or Romania? Doesn't often matter in International Rugby these days, but I was brought up watching the Whites @ St Helens, and I soon that wind coming in from the Bristol Channel was crucial."
Pardon?
Calum_McConnell on Twitter: "Scotland are fortunate the Romanians can't tackle. Expect a rollocking from Andy Robinson and a much improved 2nd half performance."
arizona_86 on Twitter: "Just got in from a night out. Watching Scotland v Romania. Come on boys!"
0250: Now then, let's read some tweets from Scotland fans...
HALF-TIME SCOTLAND 18-11 ROMANIA
39 mins: TRY SCOTLAND 18-11 ROMANIA
Blimey! Romania have a lineout about 10 metres out then drive to the line...erm... and go over thanks to the determination and power of loose-head Mihaita Lazar. Danut Dumbrava misses the conversion from a difficult angle, but the Romanians are back in it. Forget my entry on 24 minutes.
38 mins: PENALTY SCOTLAND 18-6 ROMANIA
Chris Paterson relieves some of the pressure on Scotland by kicking his three millionth penalty - or something.
35 mins: The last time Scotland played Romania at the World Cup was in 2007 when they eased to a 42-0 win. I don't think it will be as easy this time.
32 mins: Great Romania scrum pushes the Scotland pack back, which collapses. They win a penalty and are about five metres out - drive for the line I guess? No. They opt for the penalty and miss.
28 mins: There seems to be a lot of power in that Romania pack after a maul moves the Scots back a fair few metres.
24 mins: PENALTY SCOTLAND 15-6 ROMANIA
Danut Dumbrava pings over another, successfully from the left this time. I can't see them scoring a try but I can see the Scots making more mistakes. A lot of handling errors so far.
21 mins: TRY SCOTLAND 15-3 ROMANIA
London Irish centre Joe Ansbro eludes three tackles to extend Scotland lead. A classy try. This time Paterson manages to lift the ball off the ground and converts. Sorry Chris.
17 mins: I tell you what. Romania are getting a lot of joy through the middle but Scotland's defence holds firm. At the other end, Scotland seem destined to score their second try. Centre Max Evans does the hard work before finding Simon Danielli on his inside who instead of powering on straight he steps inside and the momentum is lost.
ciaranod1991 on Twitter: "Staying up to watch Scotland in the World Cup. Sleep is overrated anyway."
12 mins: PENALTY SCOTLAND 8-3 ROMANIA
A couple of moments of poor discipline from the Scots. Number 10 Danut Dumbrava misses his first pen from the left but slots over with one from the right.
10 mins: TRY SCOTLAND 8-0 ROMANIA
Sublime to very funny. Mike Blair goes over under the posts after a lovely weaving run from Simon Danielli, who came in from the left. Beautiful. The kick is not. I'm sure Paterson will blame the wind but his attempt ends up turning into a grubber. Bless. One for the Xmas comedy video.
2 mins: PENALTY SCOTLAND 3-0 ROMANIA
Great start for Scotland. Good hands from Chris Paterson on the right after a lovely break by Sean Lamont. Three possible offside calls, one is called. Paterson kicks over. Easy this isn't it Scotland?
0202: Romania kick off.
0159: It's a bit wet and blowy in Invercargill today - I won't make the stereotypical remark many would make at this point by saying "it's typical Scottish weather". It is though.
0156:
Scotland: 15-Chris Paterson, 14-Max Evans, 13-Joe Ansbro, 12-Sean Lamont, 11-Simon Danielli, 10-Ruaridh Jackson, 9-Mike Blair, 8-Richie Vernon, 7-John Barclay, 6-Kelly Brown, 5-Alastair Kellock (captain), 4-Richie Gray, 3-Geoff Cross, 2-Ross Ford, 1-Allan Jacobsen.
Replacements: 16-Scott Lawson, 17-Alasdair ****inson, 18-Nathan Hines, 19-Ross Rennie, 20-Chris Cusiter, 21-Dan Parks, 22-Rory Lamont.
Romania: 15-Iulian Dumitras, 14-Stefan Ciuntu, 13-Csaba Gal, 12-Ionut Dimofte, 11-Madalin Lemnaru, 10-Danut Dumbrava, 9-Lucian Sirbu, 8-Daniel Carpo, 7-Ovidiu Tonita, 6-Mihai Macovei, 5-Cristian Petre, 4-Valentin Ursache, 3-Paulica Ion, 2-Marius Tincu (captain), 1-Mihaita Lazar

0153: Right you beautiful lot I want some chat. I heard Twitter is good for that so use the hashtag #BBCRWC and/or text me on 81111. I want tournament predictions and to hear about how your sleep patterns have been ruined. By the way, did anybody watch the Come Dine With Me rugby special earlier?
0150: This match takes place in Invercargill. For those who don't know their NZ geography, that's a city in the South Island that has a very Scottish flavour. Did you know that many of its streets are named after Scottish rivers? Well, they are.
0140 BST: Hello everybody, it's Scotland v Romania at the Rugby World Cup. Scotland will reach the last eight and Romania will pick up one victory in the pool stages? That's what will happen, surely? Or will it? Too many questions - time for action.
