England secured a place in the Rugby World Cup semi-final thanks to a 40-16 win over Australia in Oita, Japan. The first halfway keenly contested, but England were more disciplined than the Australians and got their noses in front thanks to two quick Jonny May tries. Australia continued to show fight and got right back into the game after half-time but England then went up the other end and immediately regained their advantage thanks to Kyle Sinckler’s first-ever England score before Anthony Watson sealed the deal late on with a try of his own. Here’s how we rated the England players after the game.
