Former U20 rugby player

Samoan player dies from suspected head injury

Tagatauli, 27, was playing for Vaimoso Rugby Club on Saturday when he indicated he wanted to be replaced 10 minutes from the end of game.

He left the field unaided but lost consciousness on the sidelines and went into cardiac arrest.

Emergency services revived the 27-year-old before he was taken to the National Hospital, where he spent four days in the high dependency unit before dying on Thursday.
