Wales captain Jamie Roberts was a proud man after he led his team to a famous victory over Samoa.

Centre Roberts, 30, guided Robin McBryde's youthful charges to a 19-17 comeback win in Apia as Steffan Evans popped up with two crucial second-half tries.

It meant Wales came out on top despite the dreadful conditions on the Pacific Island.

Roberts was a shining light to Wales' younger players at Apia Park. Trailing 10-9 at the break after Sam Davies' three penalties responded to a try from Samoan wing Alapati Leiua, Wales were still in the game as the second half began.

Hooker Maatulimanu Leiataua looked to have given the Pacific Islanders the win after he hit back following Evans' first try, but the Scarlets man was not to be denied.

His second - a diving finish in the corner - sent the impressive young tourists home with two victories following their 24-6 win over Tonga last Friday.

Wales' latest victory came despite their starting XV going into the game boasting just 151 caps of international experience.
