Samoa has created history after stunning host nation England to book their first-ever Rugby League World Cup Final with a Stephen Crichton field goal in Golden Point securing a thrilling 27-26 win.
With the scores locked at 20-20, Crichton looked to have secured the result for Matt Parish's side with an intercept try six minutes from full-time, only for England halfback George Williams sending Herbie Farnworth over for his second try of the game with a stunning long-range effort.
