Fuimaono-Sapolu in another twitter tirade
Gloucester centre Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu could find himself in yet more disciplinary trouble after launching a verbal tirade against Saracens youngster Owen Farrell.
Samoa international Fuimaono-Sapolu courted controversy at the recent World Cup with a series of provocative statements on Twitter which saw him handed a suspended six-month ban from the game.
But the back, who turned 31 on Monday, looks certain to be in more hot water with the powers that be after hitting out at Farrell following Saracens narrow 19-17 victory at Kingsholm over the weekend.
It was the first time Gloucester had lost a home league match in some 22 outings and a bad-tempered affair boiled over on more than one occasion.
The first melee, which involved 21 players, came after just 14 seconds, while Saracens went ahead for the first time five minutes from the whistle when Farrell - regarded by many as a future England number 10 - fashioned a try for the centre Brad Barritt.
But Fuimaono-Sapolu was less than impressed with how the 20-year-old conducted himself and took to Twitter to berate him in the aftermath of the game.
He wrote: "To young rugby players do not be arrogant. If you want to be tough on the field make sure you back it up off it. #farrell
"Love it when players talk big on the field in front of the camera. I like to see if they still talk big off the field when no cameras around. Raised in New Zealand and Samoa, I've never heard that **** before ever. Good luck bro when you tour round my parts.
"What goes on the pitch stays on the pitch?? Don't use the pitch to showcase your FAKE toughness you ***** ****."
Fuimaono-Sapolu now looks almost certain to face fresh disciplinary action for allegedly bringing the game into disrepute.
