Marc Sneyd hailed England’s “maverick” players after another World Cup success but admitted the squad’s still miffed.
The Salford scrum-half, 31, made his Test debut in Saturday’s 42-18 destruction of France with Jack Welsby switched to the bench. England are motoring through the group stage and Sneyd, who kicked seven from seven goals, played his usual calm game. He said: “That’s just the way I am. That’s part of my game, being a level-headed player around the pitch and letting the maverick-style players do their bit.
“I loved every minute of it. It was just incredible to be out there and get the job done. Obviously the performance wasn’t as good as last week, but again you’re in a tournament and a win’s a win. You’re one step closer to that next level.”
