Samoan Serial Tweeter Strikes Again
Nov 01,2011
Controversial Samoan centre Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu has launched his latest Twitter tirade.
Fuimaono-Sapolu gained notoriety during the recently completed World Cup for his criticism of Welsh referee Nigel Owens and the International Rugby Board on the social network, which saw him receive a six-month suspended sentence.
On his return to action for English club Gloucester against Saracens at the weekend, the serial tweeter targeted Saracens youngster Owen Farrell, who had set up a try and kicked the match-winning touchline conversion.
Following the narrow loss, Fuimaono-Sapolu tweeted:
"To young rugby players do not be arrogant. If you want to be tough on the field make sure you back it up off it. #farrell
"Love it when players talk big on the field in front of the camera. I like to see if they still talk big off the field when no cameras around.
"Raised in New Zealand and Samoa, I've never heard that s**t before ever. Good luck bro when you tour round my parts.
"What goes on the pitch stays on the pitch?? Don't use the pitch to showcase your FAKE toughness you pussy s**t."
Fuimaono-Sapolu’s latest outbursts will reportedly be investigated by the Rugby Football Union.

Dont worry this bloke will get whats comming to him. Nah, most P.I or Samoans are not very outspoken and usually we are humble people, but this guy takes it, and I wouldnt be surprised if sometime soon he gets a knock to the head by one of the Samoan brothers, I can guarantee that.

Yeah.Almost every Samoan I've ever met has been extremely humble and soft spoken (until they get pissed LOL!). Many are church goers and have strong familial and societal ties as well as a reverence and deep respect for their elders. This is what will probably get Eliota in the end. Some peeved off village elder back home (or here in NZ) will have got wind of his belligerant rants and will ensure he his properly reprimanded. Its like those stories I used to hear at school from my Samoan mates about classesl back in the Islands where the kids sat in long lines and the teacher had a comparably measured stick so he could easily give a naughty child a quick whack. Bring back the stick for Eliota! That'll shut him up once and for all.
