There will be no shortage of pride and desperation on the line when England and Samoa battle for Rugby World Cup survival on Saturday, according to Samoan coach Michael Jones.

"I can promise you, you'll see a totally different Manu team out there on Saturday," Jones told reporters.

"We're two desperate teams, playing for the honour and the glory of our countries.

"They'll be jumping out of their skins. They're just as desperate as us."

"There's no tomorrow for us," Jones added.

"Hopefully we'll pick up another bonus point. We're definitely taking the most difficult route to the quarter-finals. But sometimes the most difficult route is the best."

Jones said he expected the country's first loss to Tonga in six years would have been taken badly back home.

"We let ourselves down and let our country down. That's what's most difficult about this. I would have rather lost to them for the last six years and won this one because this is the one that counts," he said.

"They fronted up and played with all their passion. That's the hurtful thing, they did to us what we've done to them for the last six years. That's what's really hard. We're really disappointed and we've done a lot of soul searching.
