England boss Shaun Wane has warned France his on-fire side intends to get even better - and are taking double French this week.
The World Cup hosts hope to all but sew-up Group A by beating Laurent Frayssinous’ side at Bolton on Saturday. After brutally dismantling much-fancied Samoa 60-6, when England completed at 90 per cent, you’d think there’s little room for improvement. But hard taskmaster Wane insisted: “We're not that type of people, the English, going around patting each other on the back.
“We celebrated the win but that’s gone now. It’s been all about improvement today. I know where we’re at. We were outstanding but I’m expecting a better performance against France. We’re playing a different team and it’s a different challenge. There’s certain England standards that we’ve all put on ourselves as a group which we want to get better at. The players know exactly what I mean.”
