Brett Morris and Jarryd Hayne scored four tries each, matching the record for an Australian in a Test match, as the Tomahawks' World Cup fairytale came to a brutal end in front of 5762 fans in Wrexham, Wales. The win set up a semi-final showdown with either Samoa or Fiji at Wembley next week but the tournament favourites' title hopes may have suffered a significant blow with Slater's injury. The Melbourne Storm star's week from hell continued as he was carried off the field just after halftime with a knee injury. Slater hurt his left knee after fielding a bomb and copping a heavy shot from US forward Roman Hifo and it is the same knee he injured in last year's State of Origin series. Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens was upbeat Slater could be back for the final. "It's an injury to his old injury," Sheens said. "He's got no PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) so he can't hurt it, it's just a matter of if there's any other damage. "We're just hoping it's a bad knock but he's going for an MRI, we'll know tonight. "We've got our hopes up ... we hope he might still be available.
