CRICHTON HAS DONE IT! SAMOA ARE INTO THE RLWC FINAL!
Tomkins pass is forward...
Milford's kick is CHARGED DOWN. Recovered by Farnworth
Dropped by England. First chance for Samoa to SHOOT
Here we go for the first half of Golden Point.
WE'RE OFF TO GOLDEN POINT!
Farnworth loses it. We're off to GP!
Makinson's kick is GOOD!
What are we seeing. Oh my goodness me. They were dead and buried a few minutes ago, but Williams gets past Su'A and Farnworth backs up in support!
Chanel Harris-Tavita dives on the ball! Samoa take over
ENGLAND GET IT BACK
It's a six point game.
HE'S DONE IT AGAIN. OH MY GOD
WHERE HAVE WE SEEN THIS BEFORE!
PICKED OFF
Excellent kick return from Tommy Makinson
We're inside the final 10. Let the field goal shoot-out commence!
England lifting in intensity.
We're locked at 20-20
That was an incredibly soft penalty.
PENALTY ENGLAND: Challenge unsuccessful. It'll be a penalty shot...
CAPTAIN'S CHALLENGE SAMOA: Challenging the ruling of interference.
Makinson's kick is
TRY for England
VIDEO REF: Sutton has TRY for Herbie Farnworth
it'll be an ENGLAND penalty for OFFSIDE against Jarome Luai.
VIDEO REF: Sutton has NO TRY. Touch judge Furner was confident with the call. But if it's NO TRY it'll be an ENGLAND penalty for OFFSIDE against Jarome Luai.
Line dropout for England.
Kallum Watkins has been hooked!
So to no-ones surprise Jarome Luai was provoking the opposition. But, good refereeing from Sutton sees a massive caution and play resuming with a seven tackle set.
Ruined from England, Tomkins sends it dead and now it's on for young and old!
This is better attack from the Poms
Samoa complete their set post points.
The crowd are getting behind the hosts here.
No good.
Well, they rushed up and it's dire results for England. There's panic at the Emirates. Lafai crosses for his second!
PENALTY SAMOA: Scrum differential - no penalty goal.
The commentators said he should catch it. Right on cue, he drops it.
Victor Radley is back out there for England.
Clever kick from Samoa, but Tomkins is there with the saving play.
The try-scorer converts
ARE YOU KIDDING ME. SIMPLY THE BEST FROM SAMOA. What a great try. Luai was able to step his way past before linking up with Paulo who got the speculator back to Luai who tipped it onto Stephen Crichton and crosses in the right corner!
Suaalii just said cya to Farnworth not once but twice IN THE ONE CARRY!
PENALTY SAMOA: Inside 10m. Starting to receive some 'make-up' penalties here.
Makinson converts and it's 12-10 ENGLAND!
Bateman gets there for England
VIDEO REF: Sutton has a try for John Bateman
England on the attack
To'o had to play at it but stone the flaming crow England's not being fluent.
Oh no... They have bombed it there Samoa!
PENALTY SAMOA: Illegal steal
OFF WE GO! One of these nations' World Cup campaigns will come to a close. Will it be the hosts that say bon voyage, or will Samoa lose their grip on a four-point half-time advantage?
Half-Time: Samoa 10 lead England 6
Last minute of the first half!
Great grab from Suaalii and Samoa will now work it out of their own end.
Milford's grubber just has a touch too much in the UK in-goals.
PENALTY SAMOA: Crusher tackle by Morgan Knowles there and he's replaced on report.
Big boost for Samoa with Oregon Kaufusi passing his HIA.
England looking very lackadaisical in their attack thus far.
Milford wasn't held on the last, but he throws it forward. Samoa punching straight through the middle of them.
Crichton converts and it's a 10-6 lead to Samoa.
Sao, Sao caught them napping. True to form, England has gone asleep in a major tournament final and Samoa capitalises. Ligi Sao goes out of the dummy half and exposes the English left side.
Radley gets one over his Roosters team-mate. A great shot on Suaalii.
Welsby's grubber goes dead and Chanel Harris-Tavita goes over the advertising hoardings.
PENALTY ENGLAND: Escort against Tim Lafai.
BBC reports Fa'amanu Brown has failed his HIA (unsurprisingly) and now Oregon Kaufusi is still doing his test.
England complete their set following a score.
Makinson converts the try. England LEAD 6-4.
Williams splits the defence right up before linking up with Elliott Whitehead and the England side hit back.
PENALTY ENGLAND: Second effort from the Samoan forward there.
We're back 13 v 13. Well done Samoa.
OHHH HERBIE... you had it in your grasp but you bombed a golden chance
PENALTY ENGLAND: Inside 10m
Watkins loses it over the line. Good decision making from Adam Gee.
VIDEO REF: Sutton has a TRY to Kallum Watkins.
Su'A loses the ball as he's barrelled over the sideline by Elliott Whitehead.
England starting to take some momentum here. You just think, if they settle down in their attacking options. The points will come.
Pressure on Luai that time effective. Samoa going nowhere in this set.
PENALTY SAMOA: Offside on the kick chase.
So it's Oregon Kaufusi that has left the ground, as well as Fa'amanu Brown. Chanel Harris-Tavita and Josh Papali'i are on!
There is a Samoan player that has been knocked out on the ground. It looks like Fa'amanu Brown. Horrible scenes here
Pass was intercepted. Unconventionally by Stephen Crichton!
PENALTY ENGLAND: Ball steal by Ligi Sao
Paulo goes for 10! It looked ugly and I believe the referee has made the only decision he could.
PENALTY ENGLAND: Junior Paulo gets it wrong there, lifts above the horizontal...
So as Williams was dragged over the sideline, referee Sutton has ruled a knock on by Milford trying to pick up the loose pass.
SIX MORE ENGLAND: Hand on ball
Just as they got into England territory, Ligi Sao loses it on the left edge.
Samoa complete their set following points as England work it away from their own end.
Crichton's conversion is unsuccessful and it's 4-0
Well it just opened up for Samoa. Off the additional set of six, Lafai is able to get on the outside of Kallum Watkins and he beats his team-mate to cross for the first try.
SIX MORE SAMOA: Ruck infringement.
Good take from Joseph Suaalii and Samoa work it away from their own end.
Now Milford has kicked it out on the full... Nervous start from the Samoans.
Makinson loses it over the line. Great signs though in attack, an early kick fooled the defence though.
PENALTY ENGLAND: Kickoff goes out on the full. Horror start from Samoa.
OFF WE GO!! Gerard Sutton blows his whistle and we are underway here in London! Who will take on Australia and earn their place in the final!
We'll have a remembrance ceremony prior to kickoff as well as the anthems and Samoa will perform the 'Siva Tau' prior to kickoff. Sit back and enjoy this one!!
Gerard Sutton is the referee, Jack Smith (from Super League) and Darian Furner are the touch-judges. Adam Gee is the video referee.
On the team front, England has kept the faith by naming the same side that tore Papua New Guinea to shreds in the quarter-final in Wigan last weekend. While Samoa hasn't been blessed. Martin Taupau was a late withdrawal and Spencer Leniu will play through a shoulder injury to play in this semi final.
It's the second semi-final of the Rugby League World Cup and it's the clash between England and Samoa from Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. Just four weeks ago, England put the cleaners through Samoa in Newcastle, but I suspect the score-line will be incredibly different today between the two sides. The winner takes on Australia following their arm-wrestling win over New Zealand in Leeds yesterday.
