- Story Text: English rugby fans were jubilant leaving Oita stadium following their team's dominant win over Australia in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final on Saturday (October 19).
Winger Jonny May scored two tries in three first-half minutes as England underlined their World Cup credentials with a 40-16 win over Australia to set up a semi-final against New Zealand or Ireland.
Four years after the Wallabies sent England packing out of their own tournament, Eddie Jones's side gained a measure of revenge while extending their winning streak over the Australians to seven matches.
Australia played a full part in an engrossing contest but in the end were well beaten by a team who defended stoutly, took their chances ruthlessly and had a flyhalf in Owen Farrell who
managed the game maturely and kicked flawlessly for 20 points.
England, who scored four tries in all to Australia's one, have now won three out of three World Cup quarter-finals against Australia following their upset wins of 1995 and 2007 and will move on with confidence to the clash with the All Blacks or Ireland, who play later on Saturday. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
