Samoan Launches Twitter Tirade Over Turnarounds

SAMOA center Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu has launched a Twitter tirade against the International Rugby Board after his team had a four-day turnaround only before Sunday's clash against Wales.

The Welsh had a week between their first two matches and beat the Samoans 17-10 in what was a pivotal encounter in the battle for second place in Pool D which would mean a quarterfinal place.

"How do we stop the injustice of being treated differently from Wales and the rich? Eh #IRB ? Tell us!!!," read a post on Fuimaono-Sapolu's Twitter page. "#IRB, Stop exploiting my people. Please, all we ask, is fairness. If they get a week, give us a week. Simple. #equity #justice. Give Wales 3 days off and give Samoa a week! We would kill them!"
