England lifts focus, show they mean business after 71-0 win over Chile

England has lifted their focus and have shown they are serious about laying their hands on the Rugby World Cup after demolishing World Cup newcomers Chile 71-0 this morning.

Winger Henry Arundell scored 5 tries in his World Cup debut with Theo Dan and Marcus Smith grabbing two tries each while Bevan Rodd and Jack Willies both scored a try each.

Captain Owen Farrell converted 8 of the 11 tries to close his points tally to within one point of England legend Jonny Wilkinson's all-time points record of 1,179.

This is also England's highest score in 20 years.

England now tops their pool after securing three wins so far with one more pool match against Samoa on the 8th of next month.
