England reach wheelchair rugby league final after 86-18 win over Australia

England advanced to the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup final by defeating Australia 86-18 in the semi-final, according to BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports.

Rob Hawkins scored five tries and added five conversions, contributing 30 points to England's dominant performance in Wollongong, Australia.

Despite the large margin of victory, Hawkins said England's performance was not perfect and rated it as a six or seven out of ten, indicating room for improvement.

England will face France in the final, marking their fifth consecutive World Cup final appearance and fourth straight meeting with France in the championship match.

Previous finals between England and France have been closely contested, with England narrowly winning the last title on home ground four years ago.

Nathan Collins, who provided many of the kicks, praised Hawkins for his ability to capitalize on opportunities and support the team.
