Half-Time Report: England hold narrow Samoa lead

England lead Samoa 13-6 at half time following a rather underwhelming first 40 minutes in their latest Autumn International at Twickenham.

England failed to reach their full potential in going into half time with a narrow 13-6 lead against Samoa at Twickenham.

The visiting side managed to edge ahead with three minutes on the clock courtesy of Tusi Pisi's penalty following an offside infringement, although he failed to double his team's advantage shortly after when missing the sticks under similar circumstances.

A sloppy England side did manage to level up the contest on the 18-minute mark, however, when George Ford kicked over, while Jonny May crossed the whitewash for the game's opening try minutes later.

May managed to burst through after being picked out by Mike Brown, and, after much deliberation from the officials over whether or not it was a forward pass, the points were awarded to give England the lead for the first time.

Ford was on hand to kick over the extras to cement the cushion, which was soon reduced when Pisi added another three points with the boot.

That proved to be the end of the scoring in the opening 40 minutes, with Ford's narrow penalty miss proving to be the end of a somewhat frustrating first half for Stuart Lancaster's charges.
