Samoa has beaten Scotland for the first time in a rugby test with a 27-17 win at Kings Park in the opening match of a four-nation rugby tournament also featuring South Africa and Italy.
Giant left-wing Alesana Tuilagi scored two tries as the Pacific islanders ended an eight-match winless run against the Scots spanning 22 years.
Early tries by fullback James So'oialo and Tuilagi gave the Samoans a comfortable lead they surrendered briefly during the second half before hitting back with 13 unanswered points.
Scotland skipper and flank Kelly Brown turned 31 Saturday and had a birthday to forget as he was forced to retire injured with scrum-half Greig Laidlaw taking over as captain.
