Fiji will meet Australia in the World Cup semi-finals at Wembley next Saturday after a battling win over Samoa in Warrington.
Aaron Groom and Wes Naiqama both scored first-half tries while Vitale Junior Roqica went over later in the game.
Naiqama converted all three tries and kicked two penalties for the Fijians, who played with greater composure.
Antonio Winterstein scored the only try for Samoa, who lost Penani Manumalealii to injury in a disappointing display.
Fiji will now hope to do better than the 54-0 drubbing they received from the Kangaroos in the 2008 semi-finals.
