Williams leads England to six-try victory over Samoa in Wigan

ENGLAND captain George Williams led by example as his side’s six-try showing sank Samoa 34-18 in the first of two international Test matches at the Community Stadium in Wigan.
The Warrington star set up the first two scores and grabbed one of his own in a dominant first-half display that helped put lingering memories of England’s heartbreaking World Cup semi-final loss to the Samoans in 2022 to bed.
A double from Dean Ashton helped do the damage while Herbie Farnworth, Victor Radley and Mikey Lewis also scored, with Harry Smith contributing 10 points with the boot.
