Wales did not deserver to get a 2nd Yellow - but Fiji deserved none at all

What it says

• Fiji gave away 9 penalties, Wales gave away 17

• rom historical games it is quite unusual for a team who gave away 9 penalties to get a yellow (especially since there was no 'foul play')

• That being said, getting a single yellow after 17 penalites is about right

• I cannot judge the nature of the penalties across the historic games (e.g high tackles, etc.) but this is on average

How it was done

• I analysed 303 games (only teams playing in the current world cup) since 2019

• I looked at how many penalties each team gave away in each game and how many yellow

• cards they received. From that I did a logistic regression and some simple stats.
