Taleni Sua: 1 Match Suspension

An Independent Foul Play Review Committee (FPRC) has convened to consider a sanction for Taleni Sua (Samoa) as a result of the red card issued during the Samoa v Fiji match in their Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup match on Saturday, 6 September, 2025. Samoa’s Taleni Sua was issued a red card as a result of two yellow cards in Samoa’s match against Fiji at Rotorua International Stadium, New Zealand on 6 September, 2025.

The independent FPRC has proposed a one match suspension for Sua, noting that both of the yellow cards were for foul play offences. The player has accepted the sanction and will therefore miss Samoa’s match against USA on 14 September in the Asahi Super Dry Pacific Nations Cup 5th place play-off.

In accordance with the remit of the expedited off-field sanction process trial, sanctions are proposed in line with Appendix 1 of Regulation 17. The FPRC meets without the attendance of the player or their representatives, or World Rugby. However, written submissions may be provided by the player to the FPRC for consideration.

The FPRC has the power to:

  • Issue a warning
  • Offer the player a proposed sanction based on Appendix 1 of Regulation 17
  • Refer the matter for a full hearing before a Disciplinary Committee
  • Dismiss the red card and/or citings only in the case of mistaken identity
