  By Rex Gowar LONDON (Reuters) - Australia beat Wales 15-6 after withstanding a late Welsh siege while down to 13 men on Saturday to set up a Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Scotland, who beat Samoa in a thriller, and send the Welsh into a clash with South Africa. Neither side crossed the line at Twickenham in the Pool A decider but only because of dogged Wallaby resistance against Wales while scrumhalf Will Genia and lock Dean Mumm were in the sin bin. Flyhalf Bernard Foley kicked five pen

• England bow out with thumping victory over Uruguay

  By Toby Davis MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - England brought a close to their sorry Rugby World Cup campaign with a predictably emphatic 60-3 victory over Uruguay on Saturday in a final outing that provided a crumb of comfort but did little to soothe the open wound of a pool-stage exit. With irreparable damage already done in consecutive defeats to Wales and Australia, this was little more than a 10-try exercise in arithmetic in Manchester rather than the expected rousing send-off into the quar

  By Robert-Jan Bartunek BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgium secured a ticket to Euro 2016 by thrashing Andorra 4-1 with two goals in each half, including one from Laurent Depoitre on his debut, to move top of qualifying Group B on Saturday.

  By Ori Lewis JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Jason Demetriou's 85th minute winner gave Cyprus a 2-1 victory over Israel in Group B on Saturday to leave the visitors with a slim chance of qualifying for the Euro 2016 finals through the playoffs by finishing third in the group. The Cypriot victory was achieved with dogged defending, coupled by a lack of any inspired play by their Israeli hosts and it was a first win for the islanders in Israel in 12 meetings between the Mediterranean neighbours in 55 years.

  Wales have qualified for a major tournament for the first time in more than 50 years despite losing 2-0 to Bosnia-Herzegovina. Chris Coleman's side needed one point to reach next year's European Championships - or for Israel not to beat Cyprus.

  MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - England ended their hugely disappointing Rugby World Cup campaign with a 60-3 win over Uruguay as they ran in 10 tries at the Manchester City Stadium on Saturday. England, the first main hosts to go out in the first round of the World Cup, were condemned to play a dead rubber after defeats by Wales and Australia. Uruguay scored first through Felipe Berchesi's penalty before being overwhelmed by England in an unsurprisingly one-sided encounter. ...

• Wales seal Euro 2016 berth despite 2-0 defeat in Bosnia

  Wales ended a 57-year wait to qualify for a major tournament despite Saturday's 2-0 defeat in Bosnia which kept alive the Balkan nation's hopes of joining them at the Euro 2016 finals. The result left the Welsh second in Group B on 18 points from nine games, two behind Belgium who won 4-1 against Andorra to also qualify, and four ahead of third-placed Bosnia. Israel's 2-1 defeat at home to Cyprus left them on 13 points and meant the Welsh could not be caught in the race for an automatic place at

The already-qualified Czechs squandered an opportunity to overtake Iceland for top spot in Group A but could not make their early possession pay in a mostly drab game in which neither side generated many scoring chances until late.

• No points but no regrets says Warburton as siege tactic fails

The Welsh declined to kick penalties on offer when trailing 12-6 in their Pool A decider at Twickenham and instead went for the jugular with the Wallabies down to 13 men. It failed in the face of "heroic" defence with the Wallabies, as Wales
