Fiji’s major downfall yesterday was copping yellow cards and there were three in total, one each in the three pool matches.

Also forward Pio Tuwai copped an injury in the last pool match, but coach Ben Ryan is confident the giant forward will recover for the games today.

The semi-finals will be played at 6.22pm, while the final starts at 9pm.
