Monte de Marsan

Giant Samoan lock red carded for truly awful tackle attempt

He’s 6’9 for Christ’s sake. Hard to go low on a short arse.

He made his debut for the Samoa national rugby union team in September 2008, playing against New Zealand in New Plymouth.

He has made 7 appearances for his country to date, spread over 8 calendar years.

His last appearance came in the June 2015 international victory against Canada, but Paulino was not selected to be a part of Samoa’s Rugby World Cup 2015 final squad.
