Thank you for joining us this morning. For those of you who never followed wheelchair rugby league before, we hope we have created a couple more fans of this great sport.

We will be back on Friday from 08:15 GMT as England aim to retain their title. Hope to see you then.

For the fourth successive World Cup, England will face France in the final.

Both nations have won it twice - England in 2008 and 2022, France in 2013 and 2017.

Who will become the most successful team in World Cup history?

Australia captain Bayley McKenna, speaking on Premier Sports: "We got a little bit in over our heads. We didn't play to our structure. We'll do our review and figure out what caused it. It won't happen again.

"England are always class, players like Jack [Brown] - who was my old coach with Queensland, which feels a bit surreal - Mason [Billington], Joe [Coyd], they're all class. Not too much our defensive line can do.

"We can't thank the fans enough [for supporting us]. This game's still growing in Australia, and to see all these people cheering us on is unreal."

England captain Lewis King on court: "I don't want to put a number on it [in rating the performance out of 10] but we are proud of that performance, we were super-disciplined to how we wanted to play. We had a game plan and we executed it. I am super-proud."

On being captain: "I am grateful for the opportunity and I don't want to take putting this badge on as an opportunity because you don't know how many times you will get to do it. I am excited for the opportunity. The culture of this team is that as team-mates, we are like brothers. I am looking forward to Friday.

"When we meet France, it is always down to the finer details and margins, so I won't be thinking about France, we will be focused on us."

Hugely impressive from England, who scored 15 tries. Star man Rob Hawkins bagged five, while Mason Billington scored a first half hat-trick.

Hawkins also scored five conversions, for a personal points tally of 30 today.

England showed their experience. Games like this go to show we still have a bit of work to do.

Mark it in your calendar.

England will play France in the World Cup final this Friday, at 08.45 GMT in Wollongong.

Not quite, but it hardly matters.

England are through to the 2026 Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup final.

Final minute.

Enough time for England to reach 90 points?

A bit of a face off between Tristan Norfolk and Dan Anstey, after Norfolk naughtily tipped the Australian's chair.

Wouldn't be England v Australia without some needle.

Isn't it good to see an English team succeeding at this World Cup?

Makes a nice change.

That was an incredible right hand put down. That is it now, a record against Australia in terms of points scored.

Adam Tannock knocks on, and England will go for their 15th try of the match.

It has been a hard day for Australia.

Once again, it is those wingers sitting on the wing. Haynes on that wing there, he is out to get those points.

Bayley McKenna nearly adds a brilliant fourth try for Australia but is just out in the left corner as he dived for the ball.

McKenna went head over wheels and needs a bit of help to get back on the pitch.

That is a version of Australia that we were hoping to see right from the start. Powerful and clinical.

England's record winning margin over Australia is 71 points.

They are currently 64 ahead.
