Oh deary. Samoa knock-on on the halfway line and Australia are gifted a penalty.

40 more minutes. Australia kick to Samoa.

The players are coming back out...

Kevin Sinfield, speaking on the pitch at Old Trafford: "That team is incredible. I think you all know why. It's about Rob Burrow, Doddie Weir, Stephen Darby, Ed Slater. The full rugby league community have got behind the MND community. I can’t thank you enough.

"It’s all about friendship and the love for Rob. I know everybody feels the same way I do about Rob Burrow. If we can all try to be a better friend from time to time, we can all have a bit of a better player to live in

"It’s a just a massive thank you. We’ve met some incredible people. It shows our country cares. I can’t thank people enough. They've given their support and voted with their money as well."

"What a remarkable man" says Mark Chapman.

The Old Trafford crowd was up on its feet to give Kevin Sinfield a huge hand.

The former England and Leeds loose forward has completed seven ultra-marathons in seven days raising over £1m after saying he was going for a run for his mate, Rob Burrow.

Amazing moment now inside Old Trafford. Kevin Sinfield is walking to the centre circle having run an ultra marathon everyday for the past week. That's 40 miles per day.

He's been raising money for motor neurone disease charities in support of his friend Rob Burrow.

The crowd have given him an absolutely huge reception and rightly so.

The crowd may still believe that a Samoa comeback is possible but it is very much Australia's to lose now.

As Heather Small belts out 'Search for the Hero' it feels entirely apt.

Australia have won the last two World Cup meetings between these nations by an aggregate score of 112-10

PB: Australia simply too good..

The crowd are trying to lift Samoa. It was relentless.

The question is can they lift themselves?

As Australia walked down the tunnel they were booed. Those boos quickly turned to cheers as Samoa followed them off the field. The crowd still believe.

There's only 14 points in it. Only 14 points.

Samoa look exhausted at the hooter. Australia are all smiles.

This would have to be some turnaround.

Samoa gets the ball back through a Jarome Luai interception.

Last tackle. Two metres out...

Brian To'o spills the ball, knocking on. Australia have a penalty 10 metres out. Big finish to the half.

Better from Samoa, well-organised at the back. Liam Martin is tackled two metres short and it's a simple handover.

Australia still look the likelier to score before the break. They're up to halfway.

There is a clear difference in these sides.

The unselfishness of Australia off the ball. Samoa are running hard, but they are doing it in ones and twos.

Everything Australia do is fast and as a team.

Well I say that but Taylan May finds the edge for Samoa down the left, trying to set up Tim Lafai in support. But Australia captain James Tedesco does enough to put the pair off on the cover and the ball is thrown out of play.
