Samoa scored three tries in the second half to bounce back from defeat to Pacific Nations Cup leaders Fiji with a win over Tonga on Saturday.
Just over a month before the Rugby World Cup, the hosts scored four unanswered tries in Apia and shut out Tonga in the second half en route to a convincing 34-9 victory.
Samoa’s outside-half D’Angelo Leuila had a good afternoon with the boot by landing his six kicks at goal. Tonga only trailed 13-9 at half time, but Samoa pulled away on the scoreboard with three second-half tries. After quick hands among the Samoan backs, Toulon centre Duncan Paiaaua then crossed unopposed for a converted try.
