Skipper Ash Dixon’s 22nd minute try from a rolling maul broke the deadlock, but Samoa hit back barely two minutes later.
First five-eighth Rodney Iona sparked the initial break, before finding winger Neria Fomai out wide on the left.
The scoreline remained at 7-7 until six minutes from halftime, when centre Billy Proctor’s offload found Jonah Lowe who had too much pace for the cover defence.
