World Sevens Series: That Yellow Card Curse
Making mistakes is part of human nature, but our 7s players need to be well versed with rules to avoid this fiasco.

With the 2019-2020 World Sevens Series in progress, the Fiji Airways Fijian 7s team probably has the worst record, so far, as far as the rules of the 7s code are concerned.
Last week in Dubai, the Fijian men’s 7s team copped six yellow cards. Against the USA 7s team at the Cape Town 7s on Saturday, we got two.
Is our game creaking under the weight of the red and yellow cards or should our players learn and adapt?

Here is an update on the number of yellow cards the Fijian 7s team has recorded so far after the Fiji vs South Africa pool match in the Cape Town 7s.
