- Samoa scored 14 tries and dominated the game’s key metrics, outgaining Wales by roughly 2,136 metres to 596 metres and holding about 64% of possession.
- Amber Hall was named player of the match for powerful runs and key assists, while 19-year-old debutant Tyra Ekepati scored a hat-trick and several other debutants made major contributions.
