Alesana Tuilagi's brilliant long-range try helped Samoa to a stunning 32-23 win against two-time world champions Australia in Sydney on Sunday.
The Leicester Tigers wing, who was last season’s leading scorer in the Aviva Premiership, sprinted 75m to score the first of Samoa’s four tries at the Olympic Stadium.

Paul Williams, Kane Thompson and George Pisi were also on the mark for Samoa while fly-half Tusi Pisi kicked the rest of the points.
The Wallabies ran in two tries of their own through Digby Ioane and Matt Giteau, who scored 18 points in total, but it was not enough to deny Samoa a first-ever win over Australia.
Tuilagi said: "We knew it was going to be a tough game but we believed in ourselves and, thanks God, we did it.”
