Junior Sau’s New Zealand team scored a dominant 44 point win over a Samoan side containing fellow Newcastle Knights – Mark Taufua and Con Mika.
The Kiwis scored 10 tries to one.
Meanwhile in Tamworth, the Knights Zeb Taia lead the Cook Islands to victory over New South Wales Country.
Newcastle winger Keith Lulia grabbed the first try for the visiting nation, before Taia dived over for the second.
Wests Sam Wooden responded for Country, he finished the night with a double.
Maitland’s Hayden Crouch also got in on the act, but it wasn’t enough, as Country went down fighting.
