Tom Dearden has put his instincts on full display, using a perfectly timed dummy to slice through Samoa's defence and score the opening try of the match.

The halfback's deception was complete, drawing in the defenders before stepping through the gap and grounding the ball to give his side first points on the board.

It was a moment of individual brilliance that showcased Dearden's ability to read a defensive line and exploit any hesitation, with Samoa's defenders left flat-footed as he darted through the opening his dummy had created.
