A late four-try surge has given Samoa a 34-15 win over Japan in their Pacific Nations Cup rugby international in Sigatoka in Fiji.
Japan led 15-12 midway through the second spell but Samoa's greater size and experience saw them run out six-tries-to-two winners in the second round of the competition.
Following up from a narrow 17-16 loss to the Junior All Blacks, the Pacific islands side outmuscled Japan, who were playing their first match in this year's tournament.
