Follow live coverage as Great Britain take on the United States in the quarter-finals of the women’s rugby sevens tournament at the Tokyo Olympics today.
In the men’s competition, Britain produced a stunning comeback to beat the USA at the exact same stage, before ultimately falling to Argentina in the bronze-medal match. Their women’s counterparts in Team GB will look to go at least one better than the men, but to do so they must first triumph against the USA here. The remaining quarter-finals see New Zealand take on the ROC, while Fiji face Australia, and France go head-to-head with China.
Britain thrashed Kenya 31-0 in the pool stage and edged the Russian Olympic Committee 14-12, while also registering a dramatic 26-21 defeat by New Zealand. The United States, meanwhile, narrowly beat Australia 14-12, defeated hosts Japan 17-7, and saw off China 28-14.
