Samoan's 'IRB slavery' rant

Samoa centre Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu has accused World Cup organisers of treating Samoa unjustly, in a foul-mouthed rant on Twitter following the 10-17 loss to Wales.

Fuimaono-Sapolu was livid that Samoa had to play on Sunday only four days after meeting Namibia, while Wales had a full week off following their loss to South Africa.

He likened Samoa’s treatment by the International Rugby Board as “like slavery, like the holocaust, like apartheid”.

Fuimaono-Sapolu also dared the IRB to suspend him.
