Samoa bring in another Tietjens

Tietjens told theĀ Samoa ObserverĀ the abrupt resignation of the team's last trainer led to him bringing in his son to take on the role.

Paul is a 28-year-old physical education teacher who was also the conditioning trainer for the Bay of Plenty Sevens team for the last two years.

Tietjens senior said with only four tournaments left in the world series, the team was in dire need of a trainer who already knew his expectations and had experience.
