Samoan officials are running for cover as corruption allegations mount following the Rugby World Cup.

Current and former players claim team management hoarded team kit and sold it for personal gain.

Midfielder Eliota Sapolu says it's been happening for years while captain Mahonri Schwalger has written a complaint to the Samoan Prime Minister.

CEO Su'a Peter Schuster is distancing himself from the claims and is intent on investigating.

Schuster says the management of the Samoan Rugby Union is different from team management.

However, Schwalger claims Schuster treated the World Cup like a holiday by drinking and bringing his friends to the team hotel bar.
