Samoa Rugby Union sacks 7s head coach

The Samoa Rugby Union has sacked the head coach of the National Sevens team and advertised his position.

Damian McGrath was appointed last year but his team failed to qualify for the Rio Olympics.

The Samoan Rugby Union said the board sacked Damian McGrath after reviewing the team's performance in the 2015/2016 season.

Last year, McGrath had been selected by an independent panel and endorsed by the Samoa Rugby Board to replace.

He was selected out of 28 other applicants from Samoa and abroad.
