So very much a decent day for England's men. You can read my colleague Emma Smith's report on how they dismantled France 82-0.

And there'll be highlights on the BBC Sport website and app from around 16:00.

Now it's over to the women, who are facing world champions Australia.

So England's World Cup hopes basically rest on the fixtures below.

They need to defeat Papua New Guinea on Friday, 30 October (09:05 GMT) in Wollongong by a big score and hope that Tonga can beat Samoa on Sunday, 1 November (09:05 GMT).

England captain George Williams, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra: "We came on strong and it was pleasing to score some points. I'm not sure about the game before us [Samoa beat Papua New Guinea 64-6] but that's all we can do.

"Twenty-five Tests makes me feel old. I'm proud every time I pull on the jersey. The fans have been brilliant all tour. They turned out in numbers last week. We appreciate them spoending their hard-earned money to support us."

It was all about the manner of the victory for England. It was disciplined and they got a zero. It was an 80-minute performance. They earned their stripes for the first 20. There was a lot to like about it. There were no weaknesses in any of that.

England' defeated France 84-4 at home in 2015.

However, today's result is their biggest winning margin ever over the French. Not sure you could really ask for too much more.

England full-back AJ Brimson, speaking to Premier Sports: "It was a disaappointing first week so we had to come out and give a performance The first 20 was a grind but we stuck to the gameplan.

"It was good to get a win. It was my first win for England. We had a tough assignment ahead of us today. Credit to our spine and our halves for keeping us calm and we knew we would get them in the end."

There is currently a 68-point gap between Samoa and England.

A big, big win for England, who have scored 14 tries here. But will it prove to be enough?

A rampaging Junior Nsemba is brought down and knocks on near the France line.

I think England have been fantastic. Overall, they've been very, very disciplined.

England get up the pitch but then kick the ball away.

England get the ball back but they are right on their own line.

England are currently two points better off than Samoa last week. They need a try or two more surely to eat into Samoa's points difference advantage.

How many more points can England add here? They are all crucial.

That's my favourite try of the afternoon. Mikey Lewis has done what we wanted him to do - he's run. And doesn't he look happy as well?
