Two moments of ill disciplined frustration doused the Fiji Airways Fijian 7s team chances of winning their first Sydney 7s title yesterday.
In the Cup semifinal against New Zealand, a red card to Sevuloni Mocenacagi for a dangerous tackle and yellow to Meli Derenalagi for a late hit turned sour for the team and Fijian fans who dominated attendance at the Spotless Stadium.
After the 36-14 NZ win against a depleted Fiji, the Fijians never recovered. They lost to England 19-17 in the 3rd place playoff and fell to third in the World Sevens Series standings.
After four rounds in the #HSBC7s here are your series standings.
Top four after 10 rounds qualify automatically for #Tokyo2020 Olympics
