68' - Lamont makes a brilliant midfield break for Scotland he is eventually brought to ground, Samoa turn the ball over, Autagavaia busts down the left-wing, kicks ahead, collects but Scotland somehow bring him to ground and come away with the ball... unbelievable passage of play!
10 Oct 2015
66' - Scotland just outside their own 22m area, they rumble the ball to the 10m line before Laidlaw kicks, but its too far, the Samoans collect and come charging back at Scotland. They eventually run out of space and are tackled into touch. Great defence by Scotland.
10 Oct 2015

10 Oct 2015
