Fiji, Japan, Great Britain and South Africa have qualified for the semifinals of the Olympic Games men's rugby sevens, keeping their dreams of a gold medal alive as a magnificent competition heads into its final day.
The USA Men’s 7s team will play for 9th in the Men’s Rugby 7s competition in Rio after beating Brazil.
As has been the story for the tournament, it was an inconsistent performance from the Eagles, but they did enough thanks in large part to the athleticism of certain players.
No medals for the USA Men's 7s team, as they lost to Fiji 24-19 Wednesday morning, and ended pool play 1-2 and just out of quarterfinal contention.
The Men's Collegiate All Americans have been selected to face Brothers RFC Wednesday in Brisbane, QLD.
