England boss Shaun Wane hailed Harry Newman as a “credit to Leeds Rhinos” after the centre scored his first Test try in Saturday’s 26-4 win over Tonga.
Newman played in all three Tests and scored England’s final try of the series as they completed a 3-0 whitewash in front of a 15,000 crowd at AMT Headingley. He also provided the final pass for Matty Ashurst’s touchdown and Wane said: “I am really happy . “Harry has been under the pump, we’ve had some really honest chats and the way he has responded. Leeds have a good player there. “He’s a really talented player and he showed that today.
We did good and I am unbelievably proud of what we’ve done and how we’ve done it.” England led 14-0 at half-time and were 26 points ahead before Tonga scored a consolation try with 13 minutes left. Wane said: “I thought we stuck to our task well. They had spells in the first half,they had five or six sets on our line. They can play, they are athletic and big and they tested us, but I thought the desire to defend and the detail in what we did was absolutely outstanding.
