England, Canada and New Zealand are the first teams to secure their place in the Rugby World Cup 2021 quarter-finals during a gripping second round on New Zealand’s North Island.

There were also first wins of the competition for Australia, the USA and Fiji, who secured an historic victory which lifted them five places in the World Rugby Women’s Rankings.

France will be without scrum-half Laure Sansus when they take on Fiji this Saturday after it was confirmed she would miss the rest of the tournament with a knee injury sustained in the first half of the defeat to England.

Fiji head into the final round of the pool stage on a high having recorded their first ever Rugby World Cup win in stunning fashion against South Africa.

The Rooster Chicken Fijiana 15s will take on France at 6.15pm this Saturday.
