England to defend title


England is the first team to qualify into the World Cup finals after defeating hosts France by 14-9, a repeat result of the 2003 semifinals.

England captain Phil Vickery said that it was the effort from everyone that resulted in the win.



France's dreams were shattered in front of their home-crowd.

Speaking after the semifinal match, French captain, Rafael Ibanez was very disappointed after the loss.



The second semifinals tomorrow will see South Africa meet Argentina at 7am.
