A giant scoreboard at the Commonwealth Games rugby sevens venue crashed to the ground on Thursday in the latest embarrassing mishap to blight the troubled event.
A chain support gave way at one corner of the massive temporary scoreboard at the Delhi University ground, sending the left-hand side pivoting downward, smashing the bottom left of the screen into the ground and the bottom right into the iron support frame.
Commonwealth Games Rugby Sevens competition manager Kevin Culliver said it was lucky that it "happened when no spectators were around".
