Just 733 of Wembley's 90,000 seats were unoccupied for Ireland's encounter with Romania on Sunday.
The turnout set a new record for an attendance of a Rugby World Cup game.

The previous record - 89,019 - was actually set just last week for the All Blacks defeat of Argentina also held at Wembley. Prior to that, the record was 82,957 at the 2003 World Cup final.
