US rugby sevens coach frustrated despite win over ‘pretty average’ Japan

• US qualify for knockout stage with 17-7 victory over hosts
• Chris Brown expresses disappointment with performance

Chris Brown sounded keen to return to the dressing room and admonish his players, which felt a little incongruous since his team had just won their second match of the day and secured safe passage into the knockout rounds.

But this women's Olympic rugby sevens tournament is a big opportunity for the United States and their head coach had detected some sloppiness in the 17-7 win over Japan.
