New Zealand produced a fluid performance, even without the injured Dan Carter, to crush Romania 85-8 in their final Pool C match in Toulouse.

In Toulouse, Luke McAlister and Nick Evans both put in impressive shifts at the fly-half position and Graham Henry will have options if Carter fails to recover from his calf-injury in time for next week's quarter-final in Cardiff.

The All-Blacks scored 13 tries in total against the Romanians with Joe Rokocoko helping himself to a hat-trick, while Sitiveni Sivivatu and Isaia Toeava had doubles.

The score was perhaps a little harsh on the Romanians who offered stubborn resistance in patches before conceding three soft tries in the last five minutes.

New Zealand ran in six first-half tries and showed their ruthless streak right from the kick-off as a break from McAlister allowed Sivivatu to go in for a try in the corner after only 37 seconds.

After just 18 minutes the score was already 24-0 as Chris Masoe, Joe Rokocoko and Nick Evans all went over, before Romania finally became at least a bit more competitive.

The fifth All-Black try of the half came in the 25th minute, and it was also the best, as they showed great hands and support play to break from deep, with Sione Lauaki cracking the defence open before Jerry Collins and Evans linked up to help Sivivatu go over for his second.

The biggest cheer of the first-half came for the Romanians however, as they managed to get over the line themselves.

They bravely decided to kick into the corner from a penalty won deep - Cristian Petre won the line-out, his fellow lock Sorin Socol then drove forward, before hooker Marius Tincu completed the move.

New Zealand's inability to attack the Romanian line-out would have been one of the few things that might have concerned Graham Henry.

However, the Kiwis continued to find massive holes in the Romanian defence, with their second row of Lauaki, Masoe, and Collins often causing as many problems as the backs.

Mauger got try number six before half-time to make it 36-5 at the break, before Toeava got an early try in the second-half to extend that lead.

The All-Blacks lost their rhythm for a spell in the second-half, but tries from Rokocoko (2) and Andrew Hore put them back on track.

Romania scored a penalty to tag a few more points on the board, but capitulated near the end as Conrad Smith, Doug Howlett, and Toeava all went over in the last five minutes.
