England must tackle Samoans with brains rather than brawn

OLLY BARKLEY believes England must use their heads against the physical Samoans on Saturday.

The Bath star, recovered from his torn hip abductor, starts for the first time alongside Jonny Wilkinson at inside centre.

He will share the responsibility for making the play in an encounter which England almost certainly must win if they are not to suffer the ignominy of becoming the first champions in rugby World Cup history to exit at the group phase.
