Men's Olympic 7s semi-finals ready for action

The semi-finals for the Olympic Men’s 7s are set and will see Great Britain taking on New Zealand while Fiji will battle it out against Argentina. 

The South Americans wowed the global audience by defeating the South African Blitzbokke 19-14 despite having to play the lion’s share of the match with 6 players after losing a man early on as a result of a dangerous tackle. 

Great Britain executed a brilliant comeback to beat the USA 26-21 to book their place in the semis. The former trailed the latter 21-0 before somehow managing to pull the game out of the fire. The fightback will be beneficial to their confidence going into the New Zealand game. 

Fiji had a fairly comfortable, 19-0 win over Australia while New Zealand romped to a 21-0 victory over Canada.
