AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — Australia and France paid a price in reaching the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals on Saturday. The Wallabies lost wing Drew Mitchell to an injury, and France struggled in an embarrassing loss to Tonga.

England lost nothing in scraping past its oldest rival, Scotland, 16-12, with Chris Ashton’s try three minutes from the end of regulation, setting up the tournament’s first quarterfinal against another old foe, France.

France was uninspired in a 19-14 loss in Wellington that earned tiny Tonga its greatest rugby victory. But the Tricolores gained a bonus point in the loss to finish with a total of 11 as the Pool A runner-up, which was enough to advance.

There is no such certainty for the New Zealand superstars Richie McCaw and Dan Carter, who withdrew with foot and groin injuries from the pool match against Canada on Sunday. They are the linchpins of New Zealand’s chances of winning the Cup for the first time in 24 years, and the fear of All Blacks fans is that they would be unavailable for the knockout rounds starting next weekend.
