RWC: Wales finally beat Samoa

Wales beat Samoa 17-10 for the first time in World Cup history on Sunday to take a major step toward the quarterfinals while making the route far more difficult for the Pacific islanders.

Wales had to grind out the tension-filled victory from a 10-6 deficit at halftime, pulling ahead with two penalties by replacement kicker Rhys Priestland then scoring the decisive try 12 minutes from the end to Shane Williams, the diminutive winger's 55th in 83 tests.
