Following England’s 34-16 victory against Samoa, we take a look at some of the stat standouts (All stats provided by Opta) from the deciding Test in Leeds.
England ran in six tries against their opponents at AMT Headingley Stadium on Sunday - with five different try scorers - a carbon copy of their performance in Wigan a week earlier.
Shaun Wane’s side enjoyed 57% of the total possession with a 90% completion rate, and although there was little to separate the two sides in game, England came out on top with 248 more metres and 32 more runs, as well as 59 less tackles made.
Herbie Farnworth starred in Test 2, earning Player of the Match for his exceptional efforts. The 24-year-old centre ran the most metres (177) for a second successive week and came up with two tries, one try assist and 13 tackle busts as England made it two from two in this year’s historic Test series.
Ten England players surpassed 100 metres, including Junior Nsemba (122) and Liam Marshall (124) on their international debuts.
Nsemba made the most tackles of any England player (24) in a remarkable 66-minute stint, while Marshall scored a trademark try on debut.
