2 changes made for Friday's must-win game against PNG. Morgan Knowles back from injury and replaces Victor Radley, who drops to the bench. Jez Litten wins back his starting spot in place of Brad O'Neil. Wouldn't be surprised if O'Neil is a late inclusion to the bench. #RLWC26

England v Papua New Guinea France v Lebanon Fiji v New Zealand Samoa v Tonga What a final week of the group stages we have in store! Anyone taking a punt on Cook Islands to sneak one over Australia? #RLWC26

(1/2) Some may ridicule this, but what the hell France are not as bad at Rugby League as their last two scorelines. The fact is the majority of their squad arrived exhausted following their first super league campaign. Exhausted mid-table SL players v NRL stars. No contest.

(2/2) France are on the right path to getting better. 2 teams in Super League, and both committing to promoting top French talent. They need more games and can only benefit from playing the tier 1 nations regularly. But they will definitely get there - like Italy in Rugby Union

If England are playing a series against New Zealand next year, they need prep, they 100% have to play a warm up match. Super League should be having an international break every year. I’m a big believer in the Super league Exiles concept. My potential 2027 line up.

First win for England since beating Samoa in 2024. Nobody played a bigger part in today's demolition job, than AJ Brimson. His carries through the French line to set up multiple tries, the ditch defence and sheer workrate across the pitch. Leader of the pack. #RLWC2026

I think France always knew this world cup would be painful for them. Their last meaningful test before this comp was way back in 2023. Worth saying that most of their squad have come from their first super league campaign and are exhausted. They need more games and investment.

England have given themselves a fighting chance of making the semi-finals. What a response from last week!
England Rugby League@England_RLOct 24
A huge victory 💪 #EnglandRL

And nobody has deserved a try more today than AJ Brimson! He was England's best player last week in a losing cause against Tonga. He's been sublime today in the ultimate demolition job! England 82-0 France. What a response from last week this has been #RLWC26

Another try for England. 70-0 now. Jack Welsby given a free run-in. You Know Who with another run through the line, with the assist! #RLWC26

And France, I'm now convinced, are helping England out with a generous kick to Dom Young, who runs its home for another try. Northern Hemisphere Solidarity. Things we love to see #RLWC26

And now its Mikey Lewis' turn to get a try in the corner! Another try for England, another try set up by a brilliant run through the line from Brimson. England 58-0 France. We need less than 100 points now over the next game and a bit!

50 up for England - another sharp run through the middle by Brimson, and has Litten on his shoulder to scuttle away under the posts! Ultimate sucker-punch to France, who were having a good little period up to that point. #RLWC26
