Leeds and England centre Harry Newman speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "The first game ended in a pretty feisty way, so I’m sure this weekend it’ll be all guns blazing.

"Stepping up to that Test match level, the game’s just a bit more physical. You’re obviously playing with a lot of pride, representing your country, representing your family, and all the other English lads who play rugby over here.

"We won’t back down. It’s not in our nature. We’re English. We never back down. Obviously, there are some big boys in their team. But we’ve got some as well. It’s an exciting prospect and I’m sure it’ll get feisty."

As ever, we'd love to hear your thoughts on today's action. Where are you watching? Are you at Headingley? Have you done the double header - and if so, can you still feel your toes?

I thought England were good without being great [last Sunday], but they dropped off and lacked sticking to the game-plan.

Samoa fired up at the back end. We should see a better game today.

This is the second of the two-test series between the two nations, after an enjoyable first match in Wigan last weekend.

England won the first test at The Brick Community Stadium last Sunday 34-18 with two tries from Matty Ashton, plus scores from Herbie Farnworth, George Williams, Victor Radley and Mikey Lewis.

Their aim today is for a series whitewash and if England play like they did for the opening 35 minutes, they should achieve that.

But after a slow start, Samoa gave England a good game in Lancashire. Cut out a few mistakes, and this might be a close one.

Organisers are hopeful of attracting close to a capacity 19,700 crowd for today's double header.

By the time England's men took to the field last weekend in front of a crowd of 15,137, all the seated tickets for Headingley (around 8,000) were sold out.

This time last year 15,477 watched Shaun Wane's side wrap up a 3-0 series win over Tonga, which represented the largest crowd outside a World Cup match since 2018 against New Zealand.

It would not be a surprise to see that figure eclipsed this afternoon.

Changes to the Samoa starting line-up: Blaize Seuala-Talagi and Luciano Leilua are in; Anthony Milford drops to 18th man and John Asiata is out altogether.

Samoa: Tuivasa-Sheck, Skelton, Tago, Pauga, Mariner, Seuala-Talagi, Luai, Molo, Tevaga, May, Blore, Nanai, Leilua.

Interchange: Sasagi, Palasia, Vaalepu, Chan Kum Tong.

18th man: Milford.

Wigan pair Junior Nsemba and Liam Marshall win their first England caps in a line-up changed from the one that beat Samoa in Wigan six days ago.

Nsemba, Super League's Young Player of the Year, and Marshall, the competition's leading try scorer in the season just completed, both missed out on the matchday squad last weekend. Marshall gets his chance on the wing as Dom Young has a hand injury.

Luke Thompson, suspended last weekend, comes in for Tom Burgess.

England: Welsby, Ashton, Newman, Farnworth, Marshall, Williams, Smith, Havard, Clark, Lees, Bateman, Nsemba, Radley.

Interchange: Lewis, Knowles, McMeeken, Thompson.

18th man: Currie.
