The hosts sealed a series clean sweep with a 26-4 victory.
England boss Shaun Wane admitted he wanted to clinch a series whitewash over Tonga “so badly” following their 26-4 victory at the AMT Headingley.
Wane was proud of his players throughout the series and thinks they deserve full credit for a 3-0 success.“I’ve nothing but praise for the players, the main mention is to them. I so badly wanted to win this game, no matter what. Two-nil didn’t matter to me, so to win in this fashion is great. I was desperate.“You look at how the players have behaved and I think they’ve been outstanding and they’ll go from strength to strength.
Wane still has nightmares about England’s World Cup semi-final defeat last year but insists his side will now get stronger and did not think they would limit Tonga to just five tries in three games.He added: “It will always haunt me, it doesn’t make it better, but how we played that game will always be there.
