Rugby League World Cup: Slick England put 60 points on Samoa in opening game rout

England beat Samoa 60-0 in the opening game of Rugby League World Cup. Dom Young scored two tries on his debut. Jack Welsby, Kallum Watkins, Herbie Farnworth, Elliott Whitehead, Tommy Makinson, George Williams and Tom Burgess also scored tries. Victor Radley was named man of the match. The match was delayed by 10 minutes due to a problem with the public address system. The Samoans looked dishevelled and their performance was disappointing. Joseph Sua'ali'i dropped the ball and Joseph Milford was sin-binned.
