Scotland Scores 7 Tries to Beat Samoa 41-12 in the Last Match of Its Pacific Tour

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, JUL 18 – Scotland scored seven tries to finish their Pacific tour with two wins from three matches after a previous loss to Fiji, showing strong discipline and attacking power, coach Gregor Townsend said.

  • On Friday, Scotland completed their Pacific tour with a 41-12 win over Samoa at Eden Park in Auckland.
  • Motivated by Gregor Townsend’s call for a `strong performance`, Scotland prompted their rebound from a 29-14 loss in Suva, with Townsend emphasizing: `You rise to a challenge.`
  • The team conceded just eight penalties, down from 14 the previous week, and George Turner maintained Scotland’s 100% lineout record after coming on at half-time.
  • The result secured two wins from three on the Pacific tour, edging Scotland closer to a top-six world ranking and a more favourable Rugby World Cup 2027 draw.
  • Next up, the Autumn Nations Series brings tests against USA, New Zealand, Argentina and Tonga at Murrayfield in November, and Ewan Ashman and Rory Sutherland join the Lions’ match against a First Nations and Pasifika XV on Tuesday.
