'Win every game, mate': Luai's promise to avoid series deadlock against England
The stage is set for an epic showdown as the Samoa Rugby League team gears up to face off against England in a two-match series.
Unlike their World Cup semi-final victory in dramatic extra time, golden point will not be in play this time around.
Jarome Luai and his squad touched down in Heathrow, greeted by the legendary Freddie Tuilagi in all his glory.
With a retro ghetto blaster in hand, Tuilagi serenaded the team with a traditional song, setting the tone for what promises to be a fierce battle on the pitch.
Coach Ben Gardiner acknowledges the unique circumstances of this historic series, including what would happen in the event of a tie.
With no previous series between England and Samoa, there is no trophy on the line.
The teams will have to leave it all on the field to claim victory and avoid a deadlock.
As the saying goes, it's not about the size of the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog.
Luai and his teammates are ready to take on England, determined to come out on top and make their mark in Rugby League history.
It's a clash that will have fans on the edge of their seats, as two top-tier teams battle it out for supremacy.
