PETALING JAYA: Two coaching changes in the last six months aren’t ideal for any team sport, especially rugby Sevens, but national captain Mohd Azwan Zuwairi Mat Zizi is not too bothered by it.

Admitting that there would be changes in terms of tactical play, the player fondly known as Puteh said it did bother the players a little when Ahmad Fadzlee Ahmad Idriss was rested and replaced with Nik Safuan Ismade Nik Man for the Hangzhou Asian Games, from Sept 24-26.
