Defending champions France booked their spot in the wheelchair Rugby League World Cup semi-finals with victory over Scotland while they may still be joined by Wales from Group B after they defeated the USA.

France toppled the Bravehearts 80-15 to continue their serene progress to the knockout phase, while the Dragons - who conceded 154 points in their opener against the French - rallied to beat the Hawks 50-32 on Monday night.

Wales will face Scotland in what is likely to be a winner-takes-all clash to decide who will progress to the last four alongside France.
