England Secures 82-0 Victory Over France in Rugby League World Cup
England triumphed over France with a score of 82-0 in their latest match of the Men's Rugby League World Cup, held in Perth. This victory was crucial for England, who needed a significant win to maintain their chances of advancing to the semi-finals after a previous loss to Tonga.
Herbie Farnworth led the scoring with a hat-trick, marking England's first World Cup hat-trick since 2022. Dom Young also contributed significantly with three tries, while other players like AJ Brimson and George Williams added to the scoreline.
