STEPHEN DAVIES: The Catalan Dragons won a thrilling match against Warrington Wolves that ended in six points, taking the Super League championship trophy to a different level with St Helens. In the first 12 minutes, the French outfit got off to a whirlwind start with three converted tries, from Tom Davies, Tom Johnstone, and Ben Garcia to lead 18-0. Zane Musgrove, a Samoa prop, scored his first attempt in England to put Warrington on the board before Toby King touched down on his 200th appearance to bring the home team closer to within six points.

Researchers from the University of Michigan have published a report analyzing the genetic and health information of 276,000 people living in the United Kingdom. According to the studies, people with children are more likely to live to the age of 76, with two offspring proving to be the most healthy. They discovered that genetic mutations linked to higher reproduction had become more popular in recent decades. Children, they discovered, had a greater risk of living into old age than those who did not. One of the study's chiefs, Professor Jianzhi Zhang, said, "having children is more beneficial to long life than not having children at all." Surprisingly, the report found that the genetic mutations related to reproduction, which make people more reproductive, were also linked to shorter lives.

England has 'no doubt' that the team will win a World Cup,' says Prop Mike Cooper. However, the same thing was said in Brisbane five years ago when England lost 6-0 to Australia in the final after losing 6-0. And if they can't do the work in their own backyard, there is no reason to believe it will be any different in France three years' time.

When England takes on Samoa in Saturday's semi-finals at the Emirates Stadium, veteran prop Chris Hill will rank second on the all-time list of top appearance makers in Rugby League World Cups. In a 56-6 victory over Papua New Guinea last Saturday, a revived Hill, who turned 35 last week, beat British records set by John Atkinson, Roger Millward, and George Nicholls.

Hall, 34, has scored 39 goals in his 40 appearances for England, but has lost out to 21-year-old Dom Young, who has had a wild start to his international career with a tournament-best eight tries in his three games. Young, whose lethal finish has sparked comparisons with Martin Offiah, was favored over Hall for England's first match against Samoa, but he has done enough to keep his position. Tommy Makinson, who deputised fully back for a rested Sam Tomkins' 94-4 victory over Greece, moves to the other wing for the knockout stages. Forwards Andy Ackers, Joe Batchelor, Mikolaj Oledzki, and Luke Thompson were among the other players cut from the 24-man squad when Wane cut it to 19. After being left out the last match, Tomkins, centers Kallum Watkins and Herbie Farnworth, as well as forwards Michael McIlorum and Elliott Whitehead return to the squad. Following his 30-point haul, man-of-the-match triumph against the Greeks, Wane has kept goal-kicking scrum-half Marc Sneyd in his 19th, but Jack Welsby is expected to pair him with a resurgent George Williams at halftime.

On Saturday, the imposing 21-year-old made his Test debut with two spectacular tries in five first-half minutes. Despite his spectacular performance in this demolishment of star-studded Samoa, Young has hinted that he is still warming up in this World Cup. 'I'm the kind of player that's never happy, never satisfied,' said England's 6ft 7in winger, who plays for Newcastle Knights in Australia's NRL. I always want to be the best version of myself and want more from myself.'
