Leeds Rhinos centre Harry Newman scored his first international try as England beat Tonga 26-4 on his AMT Headingley home ground today (Saturday) to complete a Test series whitewash.
Newman had played well in the first two games without having sight of Tonga’s tryline, but when his chance finally came he took it. England kept the ball alive in fine style before Harry Smith kicked across field. Newman juggled, made the catch, stepped and slid in to touchdown for a try which was confirmed by video referee Tom Grant. Newman was also involved in the build-up to England’s first try and provided the pass which created their second. England can reflect on a job well done.
He swung the ball wide to Currie and the makeshift centre stepped in field to score near the posts, giving Smith a simple conversion. Newman was also involved in the second try, scored by Ashton after 26 minutes. Moses Suli lost the ball near Tonga’s line in a tackle by the Leeds man. In the resulting set, John Bsateman, the official man of the match, offloaded to Newman and Ashton crossed from his excellent flicked pass.
