Discipline will be another key area to be tested for the Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s Team ahead of this weekend’s London 7s as they bid to retain their title and eventually lead the 2018-2019 HSBC 7s Series standing.

Poor discipline has given Fiji 22 yellow cards and 2 red cards which is the highest for any team in the current series.

Fiji had also suffered a number off-field discipline issues this season unlike any other series however, they have been consistent in leading the most points scored with 1,265 points.

The national side has been a sensation in terms of scoring tries, scoring 205 tries which is also the highest in the series.

Fiji will meet Kenya in their first pool match of the London 7s at 9.36pm Saturday, they will take on France at 12.42am Sunday and will play their last pool match against Samoa at 3.48am Sunday.

The Cup quarterfinals will start at 9.58pm Sunday, Cup semifinals will start at 1.48am Monday and the Cup final will be played at 4.57am Monday.
