Steve Borthwick’s side will likely face Fiji in the quarterfinals of the Rugby World Cup next Sunday.
LILLE: England captain Owen Farrell said his team was “scrappy” in the 18-17 victory against Samoa in the Rugby World Cup on Saturday after trailing by nine points with half an hour to play.
“I’m incredibly proud of the boys, just a little bit disappointed and just gutted for Samoa and all our fans and supporters,” said fly-half Lima Sopoaga. England opened the scoring after just 10 minutes as Manu Tuilagi, facing his country of birth, set up lock Ollie Chessum before Farrell missed his first chance to overtake Wilkinson’s tally.
England were shell-shocked and their inability to deal with Samoa’s intensity was highlighted by Farrell’s unnecessary knock-on seconds before the half-time whistle with the score at 14-8.
