Delighted England coach Shaun Wane felt Tonga did his job for him ahead of Saturday’s second Test win.
The home side’s boss believed Tonga disrespected his side following England’s 22-18 victory at St Helens six days earlier. The Tongan camp were upset at the speed of the ruck and also felt the wet pitch at TW Stadium favoured England, but Wane reckons the 14-4 victory was the perfect response. “I’m really, really proud,” Wane said. “I was absolutely desperate to win that game today, after what’s been said about my players this week and about my team, my mates.
” Wane is now determined to wrap up a 3-0 series win when the teams meet for the final time at Leeds Rhinos’ AMT Headingley next Saturday. He said: “We have to be obsessed about them seeing the best of us next Saturday. We will have a strong team, we’ll be committed and very physical.” England scored two tries to one, both the hosts’ touchdowns coming in the first half and Tonga coach Kristian Woolf insisted his team weren’t far away.
