England sealed the Test series with one game to go when they ground down Tonga 14-4 at Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon, thanks largely to a brace of tries by Warrington Wolves’ pacy winger Matty Ashton.
Coach Shaun Wane’s side will now seek to complete a clean sweep when the teams meet for the final time at AMT Headingley next Saturday. Seating tickets have already sold out for Test rugby’s return to Leeds and it should be a better occasion than the drab one at John Smith’s Stadium. Other than England’s victory, the crowd - a disappointing 11,210 - weren’t given a lot to cheer about.
Tonga’s third good chance came moments before England extended their lead with four minutes to go in the half. Scrum-half Isaiya Katoa dummied for the line, but Elliott Whitehead kept him out and on the final tackle of England’s counter-attack Mikey Lewis dabbed a kick behind the line and Ashton displayed electric pace to get the ball down.
