Former Samoan hooker Trevor Leota received a straight red card for a huge shot on French international Christian Califano back in 1999.

Leota dropped his shoulder into the prop as the Frenchman ran straight at him, resulting in a leg-weakening collision right in front of the referee at Apia Park.

Leota was notorious for putting in ridiculously hard tackles throughout his career for both club and country and here are the very best examples, including his hit on Califano:

Leota played more than 200 times for Wasps after joining the side in 1997, making him a legend at the club and with 30 caps for Samoa he was also highly respected at the top level.
