Rugby League World Cup Proud Samoa out to make World Cup history

Samoa are the favourites to beat England in the World Cup opener at Newcastle on Saturday morning AEDT. The team is stacked with NRL stars, including Jarome Luai, Brian To'o, Stephen Crichton, Josh Papali'i, Joseph Sua'ali', Junior Paulo and Paulo.
