Rugby League World Cup Final 2008

Day two of Rugby League's World Cup gets under way with Scotland taking on France in Canberra

Jared Taylor opens the scoring as France - who will fancy their chances of making the last four - make a strong start

Jerome Guisset adds another score for France as they go into the break leading their unheralded opponents 18-6

Featherstone's Dean Colton scores a second-half try to keep Scotland well in touch at 24-18

But two late tries ensure France kick off their World Cup campaign with a relatively comfortable 36-18 victory

In Sydney, the Kangaroos kick off their World Cup campaign against New Zealand. Greg Inglis goes over for Australia's first try

Sika Manu scores New Zealand's only try in the first half, but his side are 14-6 down at the break

Full-back Billy Slater prospers from a fine break from Jonathan Thurston as the Kangaroos stretch their lead

Manu Vatuvei is driven back by Australia - the Kiwis struggle to create many opportunities throughout the game

Wing Brent Tate injures his neck after the break and will be a doubt for next Sunday's game against England

But Australia skipper Darren Lockyer orchestrates a 30-6 victory from stand-off in a ruthless display by the hosts
