Australia have beaten Samoa 38-12 to start their Pacific Cup campaign in style but one of the highlights of the Test was the debut by dazzling Samoa fullback Sua Faalogo. The Kangaroos’ win was set up by powerhouse displays by props Payne Haas and Tino Fa’asumaleaui who dominated the opening quarter of Saturday night’s contest in Townsville.
“You can certainly tell he is going to be a great footballer in the years to come and one of the superstars of our game,” he said. The hosts set up the win in the opening 16 minutes when they raced out to a 22-0 lead. Haas stamped his reputation as the world’s best prop with a typically blockbusting try where he carried Samoan forward Connelly Lemuelu over the line with him to score the opener. Captain Tedesco sliced through feeble Samoan defence from a scrum to make it 10-0 after 10 minutes.
