    Fran Goldthorp is a much better player than what she dished up there. She could have held onto the ball, momentum probably would have got her over the line.

    England get an opportunity here to play a bit of footy. They need to understand the scoreboard and the clock. They go forward great but they're not attacking the ball.

    Ahhhh, Fran Goldthorp tries to set up Anna Davies to score but her overhead pass is forward!

    That needed to go for England.

    Here's a chance though, as Freedom Crichton Ropati drops a high kick from Georgia Roche.

    Really good position for England.

    England 6-18 Samoa

    England second row Lucy Murray has picked up a nasty blow to her right eye, blood is flowing from a cut just beneath it.

    It feels like England's World Cup campaign is bleeding out here.

    England 6-18 Samoa

    Samoa blink for the first time, a good scoring chance is lost with a loose pass and a knock on.

    They use their captain's challenge on that, but it was a clear error.

    I've been critical of England's last plays. Normally in the middle of sets they've been good. That's probably their poorest execution. That was disgraceful pass technique and catching.

    England knock-on by Mary Coleman, Samoa have the ball back 15 metres from their own line.

    Time is dribbling away for the English.

    England 6-18 Samoa

    Samoa have never reached the women's World Cup semi-finals. They did not even qualify for the 2022 tournament.

    But they are edging closer to history.

    When you've got Laikha Clarke and Annetta Nuuausala, they come back on and bring all the impact which is what has lifted this Samoan team.

    This is bad news for Samoa.

    Freedom Crichton Ropati, who has scored a hat-trick, crumples to the floor under no pressure as she tries to carry the ball forward.

    It looks like her ankle gave way, she will have it strapped up.

    Fran Goldthorp has been superb under the high ball today, and again she catches a Samoan steepler.

    England get to the Samoan 30, Roche kicks high... well gathered by Samoa.

    Georgia Roche's high kick to the right causes chaos in the Samoan back line, bouncing twice before being gathered.

    England trying to ratchet up the pressure.

    18 minutes to go.

    England need 12 points.

    Each to their own but I don't think that's the option I'd take. If England score two tries, I'd back Isabel Rowe to kick them both.

    Maybe this is what Samoa need to get back into the grind. Feels like they've lost momentum.

  16. PENALTY - England 6-18 Samoapublished at 07:53 GMT

    Pauline Piliae-Rasabale (50 mins)

    Piliae-Rasabale finally gets one between the posts.

    England need two converted tries to draw level.

    They're going to take two. It makes sense.

    England 6-16 Samoa

    Samoa have a penalty for an England strip.

    It's right under the posts, so Samoa will kick for goal.

    Ah, England are caught offside.

    A good chance passed up. That's scoreboard pressure.

    That is a game-changing moment. Exactly what England needed. We talked about Roche's poor kicking in the first half but she's turned the tables with that one.
