In a surprising turn of events, Fijian rugby sevens star Jerry Tuwai has been handed a one-week suspension by the Fijian Rugby Union due to a disciplinary breach. The suspension comes as a shock to fans and teammates alike, as Tuwai is regarded as one of the sport’s most respected and influential players.
Details surrounding the breach have not been fully disclosed, but sources suggest that it may be related to a violation of team protocols during a recent training session. Tuwai, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and captain of the Fijian rugby sevens team, will now miss an important upcoming match in the World Rugby Sevens Series, leaving a noticeable gap in the squad.
Fijian Rugby Union officials confirmed the suspension in a brief statement, noting, “While Jerry has been an exemplary player and leader, all members of the team are held to the same standards. This decision was made in the best interest of maintaining team discipline and unity.”
Tuwai has yet to comment publicly on the suspension, but fans have expressed both disappointment and support on social media, with many hoping the star player can return quickly to help guide the team through the rest of the series.
The one-week suspension is a significant blow for Fiji’s rugby sevens team, as Tuwai’s leadership and playmaking skills are central to their success. However, team officials remain confident that they will bounce back and remain competitive during his absence.
The Fijian Rugby Union is expected to release more details on the situation in the coming days, as the team prepares for its next match without one of its big
gest stars.
