England vs Papua New Guinea Preview & Prediction

England aim for the Rugby League World Cup semi-finals when they lock horns with Papua New Guinea on Saturday at DW Stadium.

England have arguably been the most impressive team throughout the group stages, scoring more points than any other nation.

Indeed, England completely crushed Samoa 60-6 in the tournament opener before toppling France 42-18 and posting a record-breaking 94-4 thrashing of Greece.

Dominic Young scored four tries in that demolition as England look to keep their momentum going into the semi-finals, where either Samoa or Tonga will be waiting.

England are on the right side of the draw in that they avoid Australia or New Zealand until the final – but they can’t afford to underestimate Papua New Guinea.

The Kumuls have been terrific at the World Cup so far, pushing Tonga all the way in their opening match before taking care of the Cook Islands and Wales to qualify for the quarter-finals.

With the likes of Justin Olam and Alex Johnston in the backline – and Rhyse Martin one of the best goal kickers in the world, PNG are a forced to be reckoned with.

VERDICT:

However, the Kumuls most likely can’t keep it up for 80 minutes against a classy England side.

Expect PNG to hang with England early and deliver some bruising hits, but once the English weather the storm, their superior quality should shine through. We’ll back them to cover the -22.5 line (Best England -22.5 line odds $1.90 with Ladbrokes.)
