NRL: Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has run the length of the field as Australia downed Samoa in the Pacific Test Championship at Queensland Country Bank stadium.
The Kangaroos, led by the fearsome front row duo of Payne Haas and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, got off to a red-hot start but Samoa hung tough as the Aussies kept them in the game with some simple errors.
A couple of test debutants in the centres also had outstanding nights and Australia proved too classy in the end.Watch every match of The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Live on Kayo Sports. Starts THU 6 OCT 7:30PM AEDT. Broke the line with ease to go over for the game’s second try, embarrassing a classy Samoa right edge. Made seven tackle busts from just 10 runs, recorded two line breaks and ran for 142 metres. A good night out for the skipper.Other than a simple error in the first half, he didn’t look out of place in his representative debut in a position somewhat foreign to him. Even on the wing, his metre-eating ways didn’t fall by the wayside, as he ran for the second-most metres of any Kangaroo .
He had an excellent first stint , which included a try from close range in addition to five tackle busts and 90 running metres. As mentioned, he and Payne Haas were the tone setters for the Kangaroos during their dominant first 20 minutes which saw Australia open up to a 22-0 lead. The only critique was letting a late consolation try go begging after dropping a sitter when a gaping hole opened up.
