England relish victory

ENGLAND headed for Melbourne last night with their World Cup campaign gathering huge momentum, and red rose supreme Clive Woodward declaring: “I think we are going to get better and better.”

It was a case of mission accomplished at Subiaco Oval after Jonny Wilkinson and Will Greenwood combined to thwart a mighty South African effort and set up a 25-6 win.

And the prize would appear to be a clear run towards next month's World Cup final in Sydney.
