The rugby world was turned on its head on Sunday as Samoa completed a major upset with a 32-23 victory against Australia in Sydney.
Alesana Tuilagi and Paul Williams scored first half tries as Samoa set the tone early on and subdued the Australian pack. Kane Thompson and George Pisi went over in the second half to stretch the lead and leave the home fans in disbelief.
Australia's fightback came in the form of the boot of fly-half Matt Giteau, who kicked three penalties and two conversions as well as scoring a try on the way to 18 points. But it was too little too late as the Samoans celebrated a memorable win.
