    Mentally it's really difficult. When you win a game by 60 points a matter of weeks ago, subconsciously you imagine things to happen.

    Samoa are being much more aggressive than they were in the previous meeting.

    Junior Paulo is sent to the bin for 10 minutes!

    A dangerous tackle and England will play on, hoping for a try.

    There'll have been a few bruised Samoan egos after the tournament's opening game but they are really giving it to England here early doors.

    Captain Junior Paulo is clearly pumped and it'll be interesting to see if they can maintain their discipline.

    Actually Samoa knocked-on in the chaos and England get the ball back. Then Junior Paulo drops Tom Burgess onto his head and England are gifted a penalty.

    A chance to kick for two?

    Nothing is working for the hosts. They scramble some quick passes but George Williams is then cornered and dragged over the sideline.

    Samoa are winning every battle so far. But we've still got a long way to go.

    The middle looks fresh for Samoa. They're moving the ball and sharing the workload out.

    At the minute Samoa are staying away from the fight which seems to be working.

    Relief for England as Samoa's Anthony Milford knocks-on. Have a breather lads. Get your shape back.

    There's enough experience and big game mentality in this England team to cope with this.

    England 0-4 Samoa

    England's latest set goes nowhere. The boys in white look stunned. This is a completely different Samoa side to the opening day.

    It's Tim Lafai and Kallum Watkins, Salford team-mates. They're moving the ball to the left much more than in the first game against England.

    The ball just gives him a bit of space and that's all he needs. When they've had a chance they've made England pay.

    This was never going to be an easy England win was it?

    Back to the action and Dom Young safely takes another high Samoa kick.

    A stunned silence (largely) greeted that Samoa try from Tim Lafai.

    I can't remember England trailing at any other stage in the tournament, so a first real test of their resolve here.

    TRY - England 0-4 Samoapublished at 6 mins

    Tim Lafai

    England are behind for the first time this tournament!

    It's a great pass from Jarome Luai who sets up Tim Lafai. He beats a gambling Kallum Watkins and glides past Dom Young to go over in the corner.

    Stephen Crichton's kick is missed. Disaster for the hosts.

    Samoa have found the edge...

    England 0-0 Samoa

    England's set ends with a spiralling kick which puts young full-back Joseph Suaali'i under pressure but he does so well to gather.

    And in the next play Samoa are gifted a set restart to help them march down field.

    I think it's crucial at the start.

    Samoa have given England a leg up but if England can continue as they've gone on in this competition there should be some pressure on Samoa.

    Samoa's first set gets some good yards but ends with Anthony Milford kicking the ball out of play.

    That'll do nicely for England.

    So nearly as Jack Welsby almost sends George Williams through with a grubber.

    And then Tommy Makinson gets under a high kick to the corner but a scramble defence just about deals with the danger.

    England look pumped.

    And the kick goes out of play. England will start in great field position.

    Exactly what's needed for the hosts.
