Tigers winger David Nofoaluma made the most of his familiar surroundings, scoring four tries as Samoa easily saw off the Cook Islands. WWOS
When a kick dabbed into the in-goal wrong footed the Cook Islands defenders, it gave Izack Tago an absolute gift, and a 14-point lead in as many minutes.
Nofoaluma had his second after 20 minutes, before the only real sour note for the Samoans came via Josh Aloiai being helped from the field after a nasty head knock.The Manly prop got his head in the wrong place while trying to make a tackle, and didn't return. After half time the Cook Islands had their best spell for the evening, going close on several occasions before Rabbitohs young gun Davvy Moale got them on the scoreboard.But any hopes of a comeback were quickly dashed in a two-minute blitz - first, Nofoaluma took an intercept and went almost the length of the field to score, before the following set ended in May getting his second.
Schuster would get another assist with the boot when providing Nofoaluma's fourth, before Rabbitohs winger Jaxson Paulo capped off the scoring in the final minutes. For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by
