They'd have a good game with France, but England should beat that side fairly comfortably.

You mean Samoa would have a good game with France? |

You think too highly of the NRL if you think they'd challenge the current England team. |

It would be a good game actually, but the discipline and lack of composure of the Pacific teams always seems to let them down. See: England A v Tonga, 2006 |

Similar things were said before the last world cup and they didn't win a game IIRC.

I thought Samoa hadn't won a game but, after double checking it it seems they did win one of their 3 group games against Tonga. They also won a 9th place play off against France. |

More interesting than the biff is the fact that almost everyone of these Tongan players became established stars in Super League or the NRL. (Fui Fui Moi Moi with Parramatta, Feleti Mateo with NZ Warriors, Solomon Haumono with Canterbury and later London, Sam Moa with Hull and now Sydney Roosters, and so on).
It shows how much Pacific island talent there is in rugby league. What a pity though that rugby union has cornered most of the Fijian market, since it is the biggest island geographically and population wise, if you exclude PNG. Yet even then rugby league has attracted the talent of Akuila Uate, Marika Koroibete, Sisa Waqa, Petero Civinoceva, Lote Tuqiri, and others.
