A rusty Samoa suffered a setback at the start of their preparations for next month s World Cup qualifiers against Tonga when they were trounced 35-10 by the Maori All Blacks on Saturday in a blustery, wet Wellington.
It was Samoa s first international since the 2019 World Cup while most of the New Zealand Maori were battle-hardened from playing in the intense Super Rugby Aotearoa and Trans-Tasman competitions over the past four months.
