    He is too good. I have been saying this from the 20-minute mark, they have been running riot.

  2. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 76-12 Australia

    Rob Hawkins (65 mins)

    England respond to that Australia try with one of their own.

    Joe Coyd and Rob Hawkins get two on one with an Australian defender, after Jack Brown sized up Peter Arbuckle and did him for skill.

    Hawkins touches down for the fifth time today.

    Collins is again good from the tee, despite baiting from the crowd. The Australian fans, in fairness, have had little to celebrate today.

  3. England 70-10 Australia

    Kyle Amor
    Former St Helens prop on Premier Sports

    Maybe too little too late.

  4. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 70-12 Australia

    Diab Karim (61 mins)

    Diab Karim just manages to stretch over the line after a clever kick off by Bayley McKenna.

    McKenna adds two, giving the home fans something to cheer.

  5. England 70-6 Australia

    England's biggest ever win over Australia was 81-10 at the 2013 World Cup.

    That's in their sights.

  6. England 70-6 Australia

    Kyle Amor
    Former St Helens prop on Premier Sports

    Rob Hawkins just dived over for yet again another great finish.

  7. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 70-6 Australia

    Rob Hawkins (59 mins)

    I'm serious - Rob Hawkins for a SPOTY nomination.

    Another pass out to the right wing, which Hawkins grabs before diving over the line. His 18th try of the tournament.

    Nathan Collins again with the conversion. England have 12 tries, 10 of them converted.

  8. England 64-6 Australia

    Australia are losing their discipline, Zac Schumacher with an unnecessary shove on Nathan Collins who hits the deck.

    Referee Tim Robinson and his excellent beard are on the scene to cool things off.

  9. England 64-6 Australia

    Kyle Amor
    Former St Helens prop on Premier Sports

    It was timed so well but that finish, Hawkins' ability to haul that ball. That was one of the best finishes in the world of sport.

  10. England 64-6 Australia

    Brad Grove
    Former Australia captain on Premier Sports

    Hawkins is just too good. Again it's that kick, he knows he is set up.

  11. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 64-6 Australia

    Rob Hawkins (54 mins)

    That's the best try of the lot.

    A long range punt from England seems to be a shot to nothing - but not where Rob Hawkins is concerned, who chases it down and, millimetres away from the dead ball line, manages to grab the ball and get it down under huge pressure from Adam Tannock who he totally outsped.

    Collins adds two from the sideline.

  12. England 58-6 Australia

    How many could England get here? The 82 scored by France against Ireland seems like the benchmark.

  13. England 58-6 Australia

    Brad Grove
    Former Australia captain on Premier Sports

    England showing their strength once again, bringing in those Australian players. Australia need to be careful, they cannot afford to keep dragging those defenders in.

  14. England 58-6 Australia

    Kyle Amor
    Former St Helens prop on Premier Sports

    Australia have mentally given up here.

  15. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 58-6 Australia

    Nathan Collins (50 mins)

    Joe Coyd is again the supplier, this time for Nathan Collins who breaks through the defence with complete ease. It looks like Australia are struggling to keep their energy up now.

    Collins converts his effort.

  16. England 52-6 Australia

    England have never failed to reach the final of the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup. That 100% record will continue.

    Australia last reached the final in 2008, and will have to wait at least another four years.

  17. England 52-6 Australia

    Brad Grove
    Former Australia captain on Premier Sports

    You can see the English there were sitting well back, they were waiting for the quick ball. Jack Brown is dangerous, especially on those wings.

  18. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 52-6 Australia

    Jack Brown (47 mins)

    Half century.

    Mason Billington is again the star man, carrying the ball across half way before feeding Joe Coyd, who has been the link man all day for England.

    Coyd finds Jack Brown, who has half the outback to roll over the line and score under the posts. Collins scores his third conversion from four attempts since taking over from Rob Hawkins.

  19. England 46-6 Australia

    Diab Karim thinks he has done enough, but tags flying off both his arms shows that the English defence have stopped him.

    England have been superb at both ends of the pitch.

  20. England 46-6 Australia

    Australia's Zac Schumacher takes a nasty one, a finger in the eye from Mason Billington. Not intentional but a sore one nonetheless.

    Penalty Australia, and they will try to make the most of it.
