"There is still an attitude of racial discrimination which exists in these guys' mentality because of the high standard of rugby Manu Samoa has achieved and can defeat top teams like this," Sailele said in his weekly radio address, according to Samoa News.
"They think they know every-thing and then they send idiots to officiate an important game, and one of them tries to convince us in broad daylight in our own country that the ball carrier had stepped out of the field with the ball when we can all see he left the ball in the field before he was pushed outside the field."
The game wasn't televised in New Zealand but perhaps this case doesn't need any firm evidence to be believed.
Ever since Samoa beat Wales at the 1991 World Cup, there has been a sense of the Celtic nations in particular working together to stifle the growth of the Pacific Islanders.
The Celts fear their place in the global pecking order is under threat from Polynesia, which is why they have repeatedly voted against changes in the eligibility laws that would allow dual-qualified players to represent a Tier Two nation after playing for a Tier One country.
"The reality is there is a group of northern unions that is very nervous about strengthening the island nations," New Zealand Rugby Union chief executive Steve Tew said in 2009 after the eligibility proposal was rejected.
Could it be possible that, with the Celts still all-powerful within the IRB - they hold six votes - that anti-Pacific Islands attitudes have prevailed across the game? Far-fetched nonsense? Perhaps, but then look at the injustices inflicted on the three Island nations.
In 1999, Fiji were denied a World Cup pool round victory against France by one of the worst refereeing performances in history. Paddy O'Brien described his performance in his autobiography as "a train smash of a game," admitting: "I lost the plot."
He denied Fiji two legitimate tries and awarded France a penalty try late in the game for a scrum infringement no one else in the world saw. France escaped with a 28-19 win that saw them head directly to the quarter-finals while Fiji were confined to a playoff against England.
At the 2003 World Cup England played almost one minute of their pool game against Samoa with 16 men on the field. The 16th man didn't touch the ball or have any
direct involvement but still . . . imagine if England had been playing the All Blacks? The outcome of a rather lame IRB investigation was to fine England a paltry sum and say 'Move on, chaps'.
Tonga felt the full weight of the IRB in 2007 when they were heavy-handedly warned against trying to raise sponsorship money.
Irish bookmaker Paddy Power had been taken with the Tongans, who were short of cash, and donated a five-figure sum to help them with basics such as training kit. To say thank you, the Tongans planned to dye their hair green before their final match against England.
The IRB intervened, releasing a statement days before the game: "The Tongan team and officials have agreed that they will appear normally and have been reminded of the importance of the match."
The IRB had stayed silent in 1995 when the French backs dyed their hair peroxide blond and grew goatee beards.
Inoke Afeaki, one of Tonga's senior players, said the team had been told by the IRB they were overstepping the mark. "There's been a lot of kiboshing going on," he said. "We wanted to do it as a show of unity and togetherness."
There was more suspect treatment of the Pacific Island teams in 2011 - despite the fact the tournament was considered to be as much Polynesia's as it was New Zealand's.
The Samoans, handed a brute of a schedule, as were the Tongans and Fijians, needed to win their final pool game against South Africa to progress. A classic encounter at North Harbour saw the Boks lead 13-5 in the final quarter. Samoa were rampant by then and appeared to score a try - but no dice was the ruling by referee Nigel Owens.
David Lemi was then penalised for supposedly not releasing when he clearly wasn't held in the tackle and Paul Williams was a shown red card when he slapped Heinrich Brussow in an incident that needed nothing more than for both players to wind their necks in and get on with it.
It was a travesty of a performance by Owens - a favoured official of the IRB - one that showed his deficiencies and ultimately curtailed his involvement deeper into the tournament.
And yet, the IRB seemed only concerned about chasing Samoa's infamous Tweeter, Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu, who admittedly went a bit overboard in his criticism of Owens.
In the absence of any video footage from the Apia encounter two weeks ago it's hard to keep an open mind. But it is a pretty safe bet the Samoans were hard done by.
10 Pacific injustices
1 Fiji were on course for a famous win against France in 1999 but had two tries denied - one for a supposed knock-on. Referee Paddy O'Brien then missed three forward passes in the build-up to a French try and awarded them a penalty try to help them to victory 28-19.
2 England were leading Samoa 35-22 in the final minutes of their 2003 World Cup pool clash. Mike Tindall was to be replaced but Dan Luger ran on before the former came off and for 34 seconds England had 16 men on the field. England fitness coach Dave Reddin ended up in a physical altercation with assistant referee Steve Walsh but England were hit with a paltry fine of $20,000.
3 In the 1995 World Cup quarter-final, the Samoans were subjected to relentless verbal abuse from the Springboks and there were also claims of biting and other acts of foul play. But Samoa's management team persuaded their players to stay quiet for fear complaining would damage their chances of being part of the soon-to-be created Super 12. As it happened, they were omitted from Super Rugby anyway and have been rejected by Sanzar ever since.
4 Pick a World Cup, any World Cup, and it will be there in black and white: the Pacific Island nations have been shafted in the scheduling. Without fail, all three nations have been asked to play midweek games and prepare with the least rest and recovery time - a point conceded recently by the IRB, who have vowed to fix that in 2015.
5 Samoa trailed South Africa 13-5 at last year's World Cup, were denied what appeared a legitimate try between the posts, and were seemingly harshly treated by referee Nigel Owens who even red-carded Paul Williams.
6 Tonga were threatened by the IRB in 2007 when they wanted to dye their hair green before playing England. The IRB also investigated payments made to the team by non-official sponsors, despite the fact Tonga were skint.
7 In 2004, 2009 and 2011, the IRB voted against proposed eligibility changes that were designed partly to help strengthen the Pacific Island nations by allowing players to represent Tier Two Nations after a one-year stand-down if they had played for a Tier One Nation.
8 Samoa's Alesana Tuilagi was fined $10,000 at the 2011 World Cup for wearing a branded mouthguard. The fine was exorbitant and petty especially as the day before England had
effectively been exonerated by the IRB despite being found guilty of switching match balls in their game against Romania.
9 The Northern Hemisphere has prevented eligibility law changes yet have been happy to lure young Polynesian players who have qualified on residency grounds. Manu Tuilagi (Samoa) is a key player for England and Toby Faletau (Tonga) has been a critical component of the Welsh pack.
10 Despite the influence of Polynesia in New Zealand rugby and the number of Pacific Island athletes in Super Rugby, the All Blacks have still not taken the plunge and played a test in the Islands. A million reasons have been offered but really, even if the NZRU loses money, the All Blacks need to pay homage and play at least once in the Islands.
