Six Nations grand slam champions Wales suffered a fifth straight loss when they were humbled 26-19 by Samoa at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

The Pacific Islanders were bright from the kick off and scored a try after just over a minute.

Samoans came out firing as they looked to kick on from their impressive win over Canada a week ago.

They managed to cross the whitewash within two minutes.

The impressive Tusi Pisi's conversion made it 7-0 with the match still very much in its infancy.

Late in the second half, Ospreys scrum half Kahn Fotuali’i scooted down the blindside at a ruck close to halfway to set up George Pisi for a superb finish in the corner.

Wales who lost to Argentina last week will host All Blacks next week.

Meanwhile, the Flying Fijians and Ireland A match kicks off 6.30am tomorrow.

In other test matches tomorrow, All Blacks will play Italy at 3am, Scotland takes on South Africa 3.30am, France will take on Argentina at 8am and England will play Australia at 3.30am.
