Don Young admits even he can’t believe how well his World Cup’s going.
The rookie winger equalled England’s record for most tries in a game by scoring four in the first half alone during Saturday’s 94-4 rout of Greece. He is the tenth player to do so. The likes of Sam Tomkins and legendary Martin Offiah have both achieved the same feat and Young is the first since Ryan Hall against France in 2012.
But the Newcastle Knights flier also now has eight tries in just three World Cup games having scored twice on debut in the opener against Samoa and following up with another brace v France. That equals the England record also set by Hall who finished with eight in the 2013 World Cup where the hosts slipped out against New Zealand at the semi-final stage.
