Rugby League: Kiwis storm into World Cup final

7:50 AM

New Zealand has produced a stunning performance to demolish England 49-6 in the semi-finals of the Rugby League World Cup at Bolton.

Steve Kearney opened the scoring with a try in just the fourth minute and the Kiwis never looked back as they ran in another seven tries, with Leslie Vainikolo and Willie Talau dotting down twice each.

Henry Paul added 17 points with the boot in a man of the match display that saw him pass 100 points in test football.

New Zealand will now face the winner of the second semi-final between Australia and Wales in the decider next weekend.
