I'm finding it difficult to believe a Ref would yellow card a team for repeatedly committing a 3-point foul in successive matches. You'll end up with a ton of yellow carded rookies if that's the standard we're holding people to.
I apologize if I was too direct on the fact that cards would have definitively been given if done. I was trying to make the argument that it might possibly be a violation and that refs may use T15 as a means to believe that it might be egregious behavior. I know that it is not stated directly in the rules that if an instance keep occurring then cards possibly might be brought into play. If I were 118, I would have no problem taking the risk but I would also have a clearer clarification from the refs at the event before undertaking the act. However, until week 1 events, most of us don't really know the outcome.
