Rugby League World Cup: England 26-27 Samoa

England were knocked out of the World Cup in the semi-finals by a shock defeat at the hands of Samoa.

The England players fell to the ground after Stephen Crichton dropped the ball.

Less than a month ago, Matt Parish's side were thrashed by the host nation in the opening game of the tournament, but they avenged that loss with a convincing victory.

After Stephen Crichton's second try gave the Pacific Islanders a 26-20 lead, the game went into overtime.

There's more to come.
