LONDON : Samoa assistant coach Daniel Holdsworth insists his team will be a far tougher proposition for England when the sides clash in the Rugby League World Cup semi-final on Saturday.

"We all sort of own that result, a bit of accountability for everyone across the board, including coaches and players. So, we've grown throughout the campaign.
