Roela Radiniyavuni cleared to play after she was red carded for striking an opponent against China

Fijiana 7s star, Roela Radiniyavuni has been cleared to play against New Zealand in their final pool match today after she was shown a red card for striking an opponent during their game against China.

The Judicial Officer ruled a suspension would be disproportionate to the offending player and that there had been exceptional circumstances which merited overturning the red card.

With Radiniyavuni out of that match, it changed the outcome of the game yesterday as the Fijiana team lost to China 19-12 after playing with six players.
