    Kelsey Clifford (con Rowland)

    England regroup and send the forwards towards the line, Sarah Bern can't quite get it down but at the next phase her fellow prop Kelsey Clifford does. So much power.

    Helena Rowland kicks it.

    Superb work from England captain Marlie Packer to dive on the ball at the breakdown and win it back. But it has been all Samoa since the restart.

    Confidence is coursing through Samoa now, moving the ball nicely and they have another penalty for a high tackle. They take it quickly and have the ball deep in England's 22...

    The Samoa players were jumping for joy as that penalty sailed over. They may be 47-3 down, but that meant everything against the world's number one side.

    Samoa are an amateur team!

    What a moment for Samoa. I am not sure what the magic potion was at half-time but that was a scrum and a half.

    The first points in the World Cup for Samoa, it's a penalty and it means the world.

    England should put the ball through the hands more. We all know that they can drive over in a maul, give the likes of New Zealand and Canada something else to worry about.

    Maddie Feaunati, 23, was involved in England's leadership huddle before they left the pitch.

    A huge sign of confidence given her age and experience.

    Samoa carried the ball for 20 metres in that half. England wing Claudia Moloney Macdonald got 63 on her own. Utter dominance so far, as we expected.

    England just about stop that attack and then almost go the length of the field but Emma Sing is wrapped up. Broken field stuff.

    "Samoa, Samoa, Samoa" has just broken out around me. That's the first time I've heard their supporters in a while.
