Scotland crush Samoa in Auckland to cap off Pacific tour

Scotland ended their Pacific tour on a high with a dominant win over Samoa at Eden Park in Auckland, running in seven tries for a 12-41 convincing victory.

The Scots raced to a 0-22 halftime lead with early tries from Rory Hutchinson, Kyle Steyn, Arron Reed, and Ewan Ashman, showcasing their attacking flair against an understrength Samoan team playing its first match since September 2024.

Despite two late consolation tries from Samoa, Scotland sealed the match with a final rolling maul in the 78th minute. The win gives Scotland two victories from three on tour, while Samoa prepare to face Fiji next week.
