England scored four tries in 15 minutes to help see off the Exiles 30-10 in Warrington in what will be their only competitive fixture ahead of this autumn's World Cup.

The hosts produced a purple patch in the International Origin contest to go in 24-0 up at the break, with Sam Tomkins, James Roby, Zak Hardaker and Leroy Cudjoe all going over - all four converted by Kevin Sinfield.

But their opponents, made up of the Super League's overseas talent, reduced the deficit after the break through tries from Mickey Paea and Joel Monaghan.

The Exiles had won their previous three meetings with England in the last two years, but any hopes of completing a comeback were dashed when Cudjoe scored an intercept try late on.

England can expect a much tougher test when they meet Australia in Cardiff on October 26 in the World Cup's opening fixture.
