Samoan serial-tweeter, Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu gets 3 weeks
Samoan centre Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu is in trouble again for making Twitter comments about the IRB and Rugby World Cup, being banned for three weeks by England’s Rugby Football Union after being found guilty on two charges.
The Gloucester player was also found guilty of being critical of the judicial process but was cleared late Monday of making “insulting or provocative comments” about Saracens center Owen Farrell following the Premiership match on Oct. 29.
RFU panel chair Daniel White says “we have imposed a sentence designed to deter others who may be tempted to act in this way.”
Fuimaono-Sapolu can play again from Nov. 29, but the ban could also activate a suspended six-month suspension from the IRB after he accused Welsh referee Nigel Owens of being racist and biased during the World Cup.
