Fiji, the current Olympic champion, is two steps away from re-evaluating gold in rugby at VII. The Melanesians put the cards on the table and beat Australia 19-0 in the quarterfinals. Without thoughts.

His rival in the semifinals is Argentina. 3 minutes earlier, the Puma had lost 0-7 against South Africa and were short of red for Gaston Rivol, but still with three trials they found the Springbox-like world power and set the record. – 14.

On the other side of the table, New Zealand, who stayed in the Fairway in the quarterfinals five years ago, will easily beat Canada and fight for the first medal (21-10).

The All Blocks will face Great Britain in the semifinals, which is Friday in Rio de Janeiro. The British – a team that only appears by this name in the Games, because each nation participates individually in the remaining matches – made another big comeback as they lost 0-21 to the United States but were able to turn it around until the final 26-21.
