Telegraph 5/10: “Executed a sublime first-half turnover which sent George clear; only the slightest of Tumua Manu knock-ons saved his bacon after a skewed box-kick looked to have handed Samoa their third try.”
RUCK 4/10: “Delayed around the breakdown, constantly putting England under pressure.”
Planet Rugby 5/10: “The scrum-half was very lucky a Samoan try on the back of his poor box kick was ruled out. A great player on the front foot but one that could improve when managing the game when under pressure.”
