  1. Plenty of positives for Townsend

    HT: Samoa 0-22 Scotland

    Andrew Petrie
    BBC Sport Scotland

    A really good attacking showing from Scotland there. Jamie Dobie and Fergus Burke have shone as a duo in the half-backs, and it's good to see what Rory Hutchinson can do in the Test arena.

    Defensively, it's been a little more passive than it was last week - although it was always going to be hard to match the defensive effort put in against Fiji, that Scotland eventually paid the price for.

    There was also a really dodgy restart in there.

    But the set-piece has generally been far more sound, and the backline has really clicked. Plenty of positives.

  2. Half-time

    Samoa 0-22 Scotland

    The teams head off for a breather with Scotland firmly in control.

    Tries from Ewan Ashman, Rory Hutchinson, Arron Reed and Kyle Steyn are reflective of a dominant display.

    Jamie Dobie has been the standout performer - full of energy and invention from scrum-half.

  3. Samoa 0-22 Scotland

    It's the Jamie Dobie show at present.

    He makes things happen again for Scotland with a dart down the blindside to release Fergus Burke.

    Samoa halt the attack on this occasion, but it doesn't detract from Dobie's influence on this contest.

    So many good elements, simple elements, to that score from Scotland that will please the coaching staff and players.

    It was built off the back of good game management. They made Samoa defend and under fatigue, they executed a good first-phase move.

    Kyle Steyn

    Magical stuff.

    Jamie Dobie takes the ball to the line and from there, Scotland go wide.

    Kyle Steyn is in space and he pins his ears back to score in the corner.

  6. Samoa 0-17 Scotland

    Another brilliant play from Jamie Dobie to get his head up and spot space in behind.

    A 50-22 and Scotland have the lineout...

  7. 'Perfect execution'

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on BBC Scotland

    That's one of the longest pass assists you'll see - brilliant from Jamie Dobie.

    Samoa have to rush up off the line, and Scotland have the numerical advantage. That extra player was all the way out on the wing, but Dobie sees that and executes it perfectly.

    Arron Reed

    Arron Reed has been bright all game and crosses for Scotland's third try.

    A beautiful pass out wide from Jamie Dobie takes out the entire Samoa defence, Reed takes it well in front of him before sliding into the corner.

    Fergus Burke can't convert off the tee.

  9. Samoa 0-12 Scotland

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on BBC Scotland

    Scotland didn't have a lot of possession last week other than the first two or three minutes.

    It meant they had to defend and defend against big, powerful opposition. That tolled later on in the game.

    Scotland are winning the possession stakes right now and that's really important.

  10. Samoa 0-12 Scotland

    A superb Scotland break and superb Samoa defence.

    Fergus Burke shows good hands to release Arron Reed down the left wing and the Sale man passes back inside to Burke.

    He steps off his right foot and tries to get to the corner, but is tackled into touch by Jacob Umaga.

  11. Samoa 0-12 Scotland

    Tuna Tuitama breaks from inside his own 22 after a clever Samoa intercept.

    The wing makes his way into Scotland's 22 before Fergus Burke does enough to haul him down and get the ball into touch.

    A searing break, but it's not great from Scotland to give possession away initially.

  12. Samoa 0-12 Scotland

    Scotland should really be away again, but Kyle Rowe inexplicably passes inside when he had two teammates in acres of space outside him.

    Poor from the Scotland full-back.

  13. Samoa 0-12 Scotland

    There are some big hits going in, perhaps unsurprisingly.

    Debutant Latrell Ah Kiong makes a break, but is clattered by Kyle Rowe and halted in his tracks.

    Chris Paterson

    It's a brilliant score in the end. Scotland kept knocking at the door. Some of the defence from Samoa was absolutely heroic.

    They just changed the picture to put it though, with Stafford McDowall at the heart of it. He didn't take it close to the line, drew the defence onto them.

    It's really clever and astute play.

    There is the second try!

    Stafford McDowall spots space in behind and drops a perfectly weighted grubber kick into open field.

    His centre partner Rory Hutchinson races onto it and scores under the posts.

    Fergus Burke converts.

  17. Samoa 0-5 Scotland

    Scotland looked nailed on for a second try in quick succession, but Kyle Steyn is halted just short of the Samoa line.

    The visitors recycle and come again...

    Ewan Ashman

    A powerful drive puts Scotland in front.

    Ewan Ashman finds his jumper with his initial throw and then gets himself to the back of a Scottish maul.

    It rumbles towards the line menacingly and Samoa can't stop it.

    Fergus Burke's conversion attempt is dragged well wide.

  19. Samoa 0-0 Scotland

    Good work from Jamie Dobie, who darts down the blindside before chasing after his own kick.

    Samoa fly-half Jacob Umaga scampers back to collect, but is smashed into touch by Arron Reed.

    Scotland have a lineout and a big chance...

  20. Samoa 0-0 Scotland

    Samoa have flown out of the blocks here, roared on by passionate supporters in Auckland.

    The have a scrum inside Scotland's 22.
