England were handed a Rugby League World Cup reality check after a 30-12 thumping by Tonga in their tournament opener.
Brian McDermott's reign as England head coach got off to a dismal start as Isaiya Katoa inspired Tonga to a famous victory in Perth.
Half-back Katoa provided the precision behind Tonga's powerful forward pack. He proved the difference between the teams during a physical first half, creating a try for Stefano Utoikamanu and kicking three goals to give Tonga a 10-0 half-time lead.
