In a spectacular display of skill and determination, England sealed a commanding 26-4 victory over Mate Ma'a Tonga, securing a clean sweep with a 3-0 series win.

The team's final performance was nothing short of outstanding, leaving retiring forward Elliott Whitehead with a smile on his face as he bid farewell to the Test stage.

The match took place on the most solid pitch of the series, allowing England to showcase their finesse through impressive handling and precise execution.

An exceptional moment came in the 64th minute when centre Harry Newman scored a remarkable try, involving a total of nine pairs of hands, a well-placed kick, and a dazzling circus juggle.

Newman's contribution didn't stop there, as he delivered an incredible flick pass after John Bateman's impressive offload, resulting in Matty Ashton's try in the 26th minute.

Whitehead, in his final national game, also managed to cross the try line, adding to the team's triumph.

Despite the elation, coach Shaun Wane took the opportunity to address former players who had criticized England's style of play throughout the series, expressing his disdain for their negative remarks.
