Video: Samoan rugby player becomes a laughing stock after ridiculous dive

The hard man reputation of Samoan rugby player Simaika Mikaele is in tatters after he produced one of the worst dives we have ever seen.

Mikaele had supporters and players in stitches during a match between Vailele and Vaiala when he fell to the ground clutching his face.

After Mikaele exchanged some lame push and shove with an opponent, he dropped to the ground when he copped a soft nudge to his chest.

Rather than con the referee into giving him a penalty, Mikaele's acting only triggered raucous laughter from the crowd.

Even Mikaele's teammates saw the funny side and the referee politely tapped the offender on the head in jest.

There was nothing left for Mikaele to do other than smile and sheepishly rejoin the play.
