    CONVERTED TRY - France 72-14 Irelandpublished at 07:30 GMT 10 November

    Damien Dore (58 mins)

    A fifth try of the game for Dore, racing into space after being set up by Dany Denuwelaere.

    Ireland have no answer to that combination.

    France 66-14 Ireland

    Gilles Clausells, the France captain, is 63 years old.

    Needless to say he looks fit as a fiddle and strong as an ox.

    France are making it look ridiculously easy. Ireland are having to work overtime and fatigue is defiantly kicking in.

    Gilles Clausells (57 mins)

    The French captain gets in on the action, diving over the line under the posts.

    The Irish tackles are getting looser now, the chair movement slower. They are clearly knackered by all the defensive work they have had to do.

    Most worryingly, France are still moving at top speed.

    France 60-14 Ireland

    The way France have gone through the gears since half time has been frightening.

    It will really take something to stop them regaining the world title.

    CONVERTED TRY - France 60-14 Irelandpublished at 07:22 GMT 10 November

    Damien Dore (53 mins)

    There is nothing Ireland can do about this.

    Jack Mangan is half a second too slow on the tackle, and is left clutching at thin air as Damien Dore races away.

    The conversion means France have added 28 points in just 13 minutes since half time.

    You can see now the Irish are struggling get back on defence. As soon as the chairs are turned, the French are seeing those numbers. They are too good with that off-load game.

    Dany Denuwelaere (52 mins)

    End to end.

    France move the ball so quickly down the pitch, Ireland cannot get back into defensive positions quickly enough.

    Adrien Zittel pops the ball up for Dany Denuwelaere, who does the rest.

    The Irish have been strong with their kicking game, so we might see that now.

    So, how do Ireland deal with this?

    Those three French tries in eight minutes have probably killed the game. It is up to the Irish to try and not allow this to become a demolition.

    That was out of this world from Dany again. We have seen everything now, speed, size, power. We have seen it all.

    Damien Dore (46 mins)

    This is France at their best.

    Again Dany Denuwelaere gives the Irish players twisted blood, and again the ball is spread wide for Damien Dore to score in the corner.

    Ireland haven't done anything wrong, the French have just found their groove.

    That is wheelchair rugby league at its scintillating best there. Dany Denuwelaere again, the big man.

    You can see that France have come out here in second gear.

    Damien Dore (44 mins)

    Too, too good.

    Dany Denuwelaere has made a massive difference since coming on. An absolute unit but with brilliant speed of turn, he weaves between most of the Irish team before playing the ball out to the left, where it is worked for Damien Dore to score.

    The conversion is added and the gap is growing.

    I really like what the French did in that set building up. The French start brightly in this second half.

    Dany Denuwelaere (42 mins)

    Hat-trick!

    A little bit of fortune for France as the ball takes a deflection on its way through to Dany Denuwelaere, but he makes no mistake.

    Not the restart Ireland wanted.

    France 32-14 Ireland

    Oran Spain gets us under way in the second half.

    Can Ireland mount a comeback, or is a fourth successive World Cup final an inevitability for France?

  20. Wales to face Scotland in fifth-place matchpublished at 07:05 GMT 10 November

    Paul Williams scored five tries as Wales eased past New Zealand 64-36 yesterday to reach the fifth-place play-off final.

    Captain Jodie Boyd-Ward also celebrated becoming the first player in Wheelchair World Cup history to reach 50 caps with two tries of her own.

    Wales will now face Scotland in Wollongong on Thursday in their final game.

    The Scots beat USA 44-12, meaning the Americans will face New Zealand in the seventh-place match.
