Toa Samoa will appeal the one-match suspension handed out to their Captain Junior Paulo, which means they will be without him for their Rugby League World Cup semi-final against England at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.
Paulo was issued with a Grade A charge against Tonga.
Rugby League World Cup organisers say the UK domestic broadcast audience for every game so far has totaled more than 18.7 million viewers live on the BBC, with last Saturday’s quarter-final between England and Papua New Guinea peaking at 1.7 million.
Great exposure for PNG.
