England look to test tactical flexibility against Samoa's 'inspirational women'

Another comfortable Red Roses win is expected against a Samoan side for whom the hosts' Abi Burton was full of praise

Samoa have described Saturday's Rugby World Cup match against the hosts and favourites England as "mission impossible"; it would rank as one of the biggest ever upsets should they somehow manage to beat the Red Roses.

Samoa are 14 places below England in the world rankings and, while the Red Roses have been fully professional for more than five years, Samoa are yet to introduce full-time contracts. In their opening matches of this tournament England beat the USA 69-7 , Samoa lost 73-0 to Australia.
