Tries: Vaefaga, Ropati, N. Vagana, F. Puletua, Bauer, Maiava
Goals: Paulo (7)

Lebanon: (8) 16
Tries: Tackhi, El-Zbaideh, Chiha, Joseph

Samoa completed the line-up for next year's World Cup with an impressive win over Lebanon in the last repechage game at Featherstone.

Lebanon never had a chance of clawing back a 28-8 half-time deficit, as Chris Vaegafa, Tangi Ropati, Nigel Vagana and Frank Puletua scored first-half tries.

Adham El-Zbaideh, Tom Joseph and Danny Chiha scored as Lebanon rallied in the second half but it was asking too much.

Further scores by Andreas Bauer and Hutch Maiava sealed a comfortable win.
