The Samoan hard‑talking Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sa’ilele has launched a fresh attack on his country's rugby team saying they have to stop showing off before they get any pay rise.
Sa'ilele who is also chairman of the Samoan Rugby Union, has also hit out at the Manu Samoan team for their failed bid to get rid of board members.
Last month the team threatened to boycott their match against England but were told by World Rugby that if they did, next year's All Blacks match in Apia would be cancelled.
Sa’ilele reminded them that many opportunities are lost because some players simply think they know it all.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister said he is not going to replace the players as they were valuable and it had nothing to do with them.
