Fuimaono-Sapolu tackles Tietjen's appointment and Samoan rugby

[@jl2457]

All you guys hating on Sapolu because he speaks his mind, should post something a youtube video to respond. At least he's not afraid to make it pubic. I'm not going to down the brother for that, I know it might sound like he's got some spite in his comments but there's also a lot of things he says makes sense. No matter what you haters say on him, this guy is mentally strong to take criticism and just because it might come across negative "think" a bit more about what he's trying to get at. It ain't negative it's awareness, I know most of ya'll attitude "don't bite the hands that feed you right? be grateful right?... whatever, the hand that feeds you is feeding itself first... wake up or don't wake up, they be knowing this for a long time, so don't down Sapolu for seeing what he sees. Like I said at least he's openly and publicly giving his view, challenge any of you to try see how it feels... leave him alone...

Wow, this young man Sapolu has great ideas and initiatives and great to hear him speak his heart out. A great leader in future for Samoa and I respect him as a fellow Fijian rugby fan and supporter. Keep your spirits up Eliota. Bless your soul.

Thank you for speaking out Eliota. ❤️

[@melissa-qp2ld]

Chur my bro love straight up loved the man's upstanding Maaori mau movement to hahaha Aotearoa got lol for this Uso!

[@ngatibroffessor1840]

He makes a good point...I also feel as a Maori we also get left behind as well yet we have been x factor in All Black rugby for decades. Because of our situation we cannot field a team to represent Maori in world cup events. We are a people who are not allowed to show our sporting ability in open competition. We have to play with the title of a " Exhibition Team". He's right - White men calling all the shots.

@@ttlfmag3507 open your eyes, this is why Samoans are turning out in every other country but their own, Samoans are way too talented now, never ever under estimate that talent, physically and mentally they are world beaters, playing everywhere in the world

[@commoner477]

What he said about the allblaxks going overseas is true. Most of them don't perform to the level they were playing at internationally due to the change of playing styles. They're great team players but individually most are average. What makes the all blacks a great team is the fact that they have chemistry

[@MTT-ic3ci]

This man is the most unrated midfielder ever. No need for the racism though.

[@faatimahislander6089]

uso... e alofa ia oe, especially when you were breaking ankles on the court, but OLA sou fiapoko. Cant alwaus be doom and gloom ma uso. Your stand is awesome and well respected. But the bigger picture aint always a bad painting.

Pfffft!!! Shaaadap!!

[@samcox373]

Instead of bitching and moaning he should stand up for samoa to make a change I grew up with alot of Samoans there amazing players on there own but instead of blaming the iru he needs to look in his own backyard to make a change

[@greylynnjr]

Uso Elliota. Westernist . Hehe couldnt type westernism. However. Are you familiar with beggars cant be choosers. Unfortunately. Western aekaes developed money years and years before samoa even had books to write in. So we are like a million years behind in our own societal development. But like rugby. We are clever enough to hit those holes and carve up. But you have respectable opinions mate. We need to check these clowns

[@ted5543]

Playing professional rugby is a career bro. You mentioned Julian Savea didn't choose to play for Samoa but the All Blacks. It's money and everyone have different goals and provide for their family. Just because you were not good enough to play for the All Blacks and then you think negative about our other Samoan brother that wear the black jersey. We are proud to see brown brothers that wear the black jersey and compete the highest level of rugby in the world. Your mindset is very negative and that makes you label as a PUPPET. Alapati Leiua chose to go play overseas because of the money and he was close to be selected for the All Blacks. Why? People have different goals and plans. What you should do is respect other peoples rights and decision because at the end of the day. You don't pay for their food, rent etc. In other words its none of your business. Just don't put your nose under other peoples backside because its not nice. Yes its free speech but it make you sounds like a fool . God Bless Samoa.

[@michaelspencer9605]

Silz Silz that's not the point the point is once they commit to a team and sign a contract they are not able to play for their own country or represent their country they are stuck in a contract. The so called top tier teams do it because they know if the best polynesian players would go back to their country there would be more Pacific teams in the world cup like before the new rule

[@kimalatidaveta5352]

Kind of understand where you was coming from, you live in that environment, and study Law as well, sounds like a smart Poly as upose to go and sit quietly with it.

SI HAND I think you need to unblock your hears ...go back and listen to what he was saying. Lol
