Staff worked tirelessly to redraw the lines on the pitch and the grass was carefully inspected.

England’s Rugby League World Cup semi-final opponents Samoa then trained on the pitch ahead of Saturday’s clash.

Samoa caused an upset last weekend, defeating Tonga to reach the last four for the first time.

However, things have been smoother for England, who have recorded convincing wins at every stage, with the most recent coming against Paua New Guinea with a 46-6 win.

Confidence is sky high and England are charging towards a first final on home soil since 1995.

England forward Victor Radley said: “We’re just worried about ourselves, not them.

“They’re going to be stronger from the opening day, but we’re going to be stronger too.

“They’ve got a talented team and it’ll take 17 tough Englishmen to stop them.
