In American Samoa, two of the four men from the Nu'uuli Rugby team charged in connection with the assault of a Samoa based referee have entered into a plea agreement with the government.
Samoa News reports Iopu Siolo and Pelenato Puautolu entered guilty pleas yesterday in High Court, while cases for co-defendants Fuata'i Tago and Pene Wells were postponed to later this month.
Siolo and Puautolu admitted that they each kicked referee Ponifasio Vasa last year during a rugby game which fractured the referee's nose and caused a concussion.
Sentencing is set for June 22 and the defendants remain in custody unable to post bail.
