Lawsuit against Samoa Rugby Union goes to Supreme Court

Lawsuit against Samoa Rugby Union goes to Supreme Court

The Samoa Observer reports that Chief Justice Patu Tiavasue Falefatu Sapolu has set the matter to be heard on 22 July.

Fuimaono filed the suit after the union dropped him as the national coach last year having served 11 months of a contract that would have taken him through until the end of the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.

It is the second lawsuit filed against the SRU from a national coach.

Former national sevens coach Damian McGrath sued SRU for alleged breach of contract.
