Follow live text updates as Ireland head coach Andy Farrell names his 33-man squad for the Rugby World Cup in France.
Ireland were far from their best on a rainy night in south-west France as Samoa hit back to lead 10-7 at half-time, with Duncan Paia'Aua's converted try followed by a Lima Sopoaga penalty.
Sopoaga's second penalty put Samoa six ahead before Conor Murray and Rob Herring touched down to help Ireland avoid a shock defeat in their last outing before facing Romania in their World Cup opener on 9 September."It's a great learning for us. The first half we played in the rain, we wanted that. The first time we've probably been behind and found a way back into the game, there was a lot of weird stuff going on and we contributed to that, but again, it's Test match rugby.
"It doesn't all go your own way, sometimes you've got to find a way and you know what we played against a very good side today. "Samoa, they're a good side across the board, obviously very well coached and have good players but we found a way, three tries to one, and it's pleasing to come away with a victory."
