England, Samoa game to go ahead

England's international match against Samoa at Twickenham on Saturday will take place as planned, after the tourists ruled out the possibility of strike action.

Samoa had threatened to boycott the game after the players raised concerns surrounding the administration of the Samoan Rugby Union.

However, team manager Sami Leoti has confirmed that the matter has now been settled.

"The game is proceeding as agreed upon. There is no threat and the boycott has been cancelled. It's all been sorted," he told BBC Sport.

England ran out 26-13 winners when the sides last met at Twickenham in November 2010.
