There’s one more match to come in the Rugby League World Cup this evening.

New Zealand, top of the world rankings, face World Cup debutants Jamaica.

Kick-off is at 19:30 BST and you can watch the game now online on BBC Three - who knows, you might see a bit more Joey Manu magic…

"England can definitely win the World Cup," France boss Laurent Frayssinous has said in the post-match news conference.

"I am sure they will challenge Australia and New Zealand," he added.

The new St Helens assistant was very impressed with not only what he saw from his opponents, but his own side too.

"We learn a few things tonight and go and play Samoa with good confidence."

If you want to learn a bit more about England's final group opponents Greece and their fascinating journey to the World Cup, let me point you in the direction of this piece that was published earlier this week.

Head coach Steve Georgallis and captain Jordan Meads were a pleasure to chat to.

And here's the evidence... Dom Young has scored two tries in each of his three England appearances to date, including two today against France...

There's a superstar in the making with Dom Young. When he gets the ball in his hands the crowd comes alive.

This is an exceptional England side in this World Cup. Two big wins against very good opposition.

France head coach Laurent Frayssinous, speaking to BBC Two:

"The first 30 minutes was tough for us. England put massive pressure on us but we managed to get back into the game, which we can be proud of because England are a great team.

"A few key moments in the second half killed us, like the intercept, but apart from that I'm proud of the boys. We challenged a great England team in a few areas, which we wanted to do.

"We're not at their level yet and hopefully we will be."

This World Cup is all about incremental gains for France, who are hosting the next World Cup in 2025.

Barring an unlikely Greece win over Samoa tomorrow, it'll be a straight shootout between France and Samoa for the other quarter-final spot from Group A.

England coach Shaun Wane, speaking to BBC Two:

"I knew they could do better, we have to do better and some of the things weren't good enough. Even now, I feel the same. We did some good things but not consistent enough.

"It's a win, it's a Test match, but without a shadow of a doubt we will improve on that.

"We've got a good 24 and we need to keep that competition. I don't want my team selection to be easy, I want a conversation to be had. I've got a great staff who work so hard to prepare these players.

"When I pick the team against Greece, I want there to be 24 players fighting for a spot."

England half-back and player of the match George Williams, speaking to BBC Two:

"Credit to France. We started really well, they came back fighting and put us in a tough spot for a long period.

"We got a bit of a roasting at half-time but we finished strongly so it was pretty pleasing.

"We were far from perfect but we won, that's the most important thing.

"We're on a journey, we're trying to get better week by week. We'll prepare for Greece and hopefully put a better performance on than we did tonight."

On his own form: "It's been a tough year but to go into an England camp with so many good players, they make my job pretty easy and I'm really enjoying it."

Niyi: An exceptional England side. It looks so easy.

They were very good. Just that momentary lapse is the thing for England. Against Australia or New Zealand would that 10 minutes be crucial?

But it's been a very good win.

John Kear
Wales coach on BBC Two

England have been very good. The best is yet to come.

For large parts it was pretty good from England, but coach Shaun Wane said before the game that he's never satisfied with a performance and I'm sure he will find areas for his team to work on this week.

It's debutants Greece next Saturday in Sheffield.

Seven tries and another victory for England.

Barring something ridiculous in the remaining three games in Group A, England will be going through as group winners.

Tom Burgess was sent to the bin in the final minute after a confrontation with Eloi Pelissier. A bit of a sour end.

France's Samisoni Langi thinks he's got another consolation try, but the video referee deems that he didn't ground the ball cleanly.

George Williams is selected by the BBC pundits as player of the match.

John Kear
Wales coach on BBC Two

England are an exciting team to watch. They really are!

Callum: No stopping Dom Young from there.

Josh: DOM YOUNG!

He's making this "scoring tries at international level" lark look pretty easy.
