BRISTOL, England :England romped into the Women's World Cup semi-finals, but coach John Mitchell felt their 40-8 victory over Scotland should have been more emphatic, accusing Sunday's opponents of cynically disrupting the game.

England ran in four tries in the first half and two more after the break to set up a semi-final with old rivals France, but the second half at a rainy Bristol was far more fragmented with the scrum being frequently reset.

Mitchell felt penalty tries should have been awarded for what he called Scotland's repeated infringements and he would be taking it up with governing body World Rugby.

"I think we dominated territory. And we built pressure on them. We found weakness in cynical actions at their set piece, and we went for the jugular there," he told reporters.
