England crushes Chile and approaches the quarters

England left Chile no chance by winning largely in a one-sided match (71-0) in Pool D, during the 3rd day of the Rugby World Cup this Saturday, September 23. Already leaders of their group, the English scored 11 tries and pocketed the offensive bonus against the Chileans who are competing in the first World Cup in their history. England captain Owen Farrell, back after a four-match suspension, finished the match one point behind England’s all-time leading scorer, Jonny Wilkinson. This success allows the XV de la Rose to consolidate its first place in group D with 14 points and to almost ensure they reach the quarter-finals of the competition. Samoa and Japan follow in the standings with 5 points each, while Argentina with 4 points and Chile with 0 points bring up the rear.
