Tom Dearden has broken through the Samoa defence with a trademark dummy to score the opening try of the match, delivering a moment of individual brilliance that set the tone early.
Dearden sold the dummy to leave the Samoan defenders grasping at thin air, finding enough space to cross the line and put his side on the board first.
The play showcased Dearden's ability to manipulate a defensive line, using the classic half-back deception to create an opening where little appeared to exist. It was a clinical finish that gave his team the early advantage against Samoa.
