With England beating the reigning champions South Africa 45-18, it means that the Nigel Redman coached English squad will now face up to unbeaten New Zealand in the semi-finals. France will face Australia in the other semi.

Wales, meanwhile, will now meet South Africa in the 5th v 8th placed game. Whoever wins that match will then meet the winners of the clash between Ireland and Argentina for fifth or sixth place overall.
