England 64-0 France
Paul Rowley Castleford Tigers head coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
England have got loads of points to play for, and they've got all their attackers on the field. All the substitutes are contributing - Jack Welsby and Mikey Lewis having an immediate impact. I'm expecting England to get 80 points - they're more than capable. But why do France keep kicking short?

Mikey Lewis
AJ Brimson is destroying this France defence. He bursts through again and has Jack Welsby in support. The St Helens man looks like he's going to be caught and offloads to Mikey Lewis.

England 52-0 France
Paul Rowley Castleford Tigers head coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
The short ball is the answer. England have got no value out of anything long. AJ Brimson has gone around the middles, the easiest looking try in the world, but that's what you've got to do. The worst thing to do would have been to pass again. England need to go up another gear - and bringing on Mikey Lewis will help that.
The situtation England find themselves in means they go for another short goal-line drop out. France's attack and kickin on the last is poor and England escape without conceding.
Before anyone gets carried away, let's just remember we are playing against a very poor French team. It's the equivalent of a top Super League team playing against an average Championship club.

Pearce-Paul's offload is intercepted on the France line. Jez Litten now gives away a penalty, to relieve the pressure on Laurent Frayssinous' side.
George Williams tries to get Dom Young in again but France cover that move well. Meanwhile, there is movement on the England bench and Mikey Lewis looks like he could be coming on.
A high France kick is not collected on the full and it'll be a goal-line drop out. That's an area England need to tidy up, they can't afford to ship any points.
'Really well-worked England try'published at 08:57 BST

England 40-0 France
Paul Rowley Castleford Tigers head coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Great work from England - smashed them up the middle with the outside-backs. Great vision from George Williams, and Dom Young was just waiting for that ball to bounce into his hands. Really well-worked England try, and ominous signs for France.
A few shots of the Australia and England women's players on the side. Jasmin Strange, who will be a big miss for England later is on crutches but still looks in decent spirits after picking up a tournament-ending knee injury.
England head coach BrIan McDermott speaking on Premier Sports: "We had to be patient. I really liked our attitude after that first 20 minutes where we looked a bit anxious. Once we got through it we put some points on the board."
