ENGLAND....34
SAMOA.........16
HERBIE FARNWORTH'S rubber-masterclass stamped another England series whitewash as Shaun Wane purred: "I'm so glad he's English!"
The classy centre, who plays for the Dolphins in the NRL, scored two tries and caused misery for Samoa every time he got the ball as the hosts earned a second Test triumph at Headingley.
Burnley-born Farnworth who was on Manchester United's books before joining Brisbane Broncos straight from school - was a different class.
The 24-year-old also crossed in the first Test success and Wane said: "Herbie's been outstanding.
"He's a credit to Dolphins and the NRL. I'm just glad he's English!
"He's been our standout player of the series.
"He's trained well and had a bit of a personal problem this week which meant he missed a session. To come back and perform like that, he's a credit. Herbie's very easy to coach and it was great to see him out there with all the fans at the end.
"But I thought we played well. Samoa were fantastic.
"There were too many points for my liking - I am very defence-orientated - but I'm delighted to get a 2-0 win."
