France coach Laurent Frayssinous believes England can go on and lift the World Cup after watching them demolish his side 42-18 in Bolton.
Shaun Wane’s men followed up their 60-6 rout of Samoa with a clinical destruction of the French to effectively clinch their place in the quarter-finals with a group game to spare.
Winger Ryan Hall and Dom Young scored four tries between them but Frayssinous says England’s strength is spread across the board.
“They have a massive pack of forwards, their back five could be the best in the comp – Tommy Makinson didn’t play tonight – and in their spine they have experienced and quality players,” he said.
“I am sure they will challenge Australia and New Zealand and will be able to beat them. They definitely can win the World Cup.”
