Fosi Pala'amo (born 23 August 1976) is a Samoan professional rugby player. He was born in Murupata, New Zealand to Samoan parents. He was formerly a player for the Irish team Leinster Rugby, but now plays for the Irish side Monkstown RFC.[1]
Professional profile
He made his Samoan debut in 1998 in the qualifying games for the 1999 world cup at the age of 21. He also played in a friendly game against the New Zealand All Blacks. However, he was dropped from the Samoa squad for the 1999 Rugby World Cup. He then moved to the Australian rugby club Randwick, and did not play international rugby again for eight years. He was eventually recalled to the squad for the 2007 World Cup, despite not participating in the warm up games. He was thrown in at the deep end against the defending champions and eventual runners-up, England.[2] In total, Pala'amo has nine international caps for Samoa. He now teaches rugby to the First Years at St. Andrews College in Booterstown.
