Samoa players left with 48-hour economy trip to USA while management fly business class

Wonder what Roy Keane would make of this fiasco?

The Samoan Rugby Union was at the centre of a player bonus row before the 2011 World Cup and has already has its knuckles rapped by World Cup for its creative accountancy. Samoa player Daniel Leo was so fed up with the haphazard travel arrangements, from Apia to San Jose, that he felt compelled to share his feelings. https://twitter.com/danleo82/status/620862260567740416 Leo followed it up with this tweet. https://twitter.com/danleo82/status/620888906259648512 The feedback he has since received shows strong support for Leo, and Manu Samoa. Leo also retweeted this from former Samoa player Junior Poluleuligaga. https://twitter.com/JIP2EZY/status/620886829856731136 Some things never change.
