Britain battle past US to reach Olympic rugby sevens semi-finals

• A 21-12 victory sets up France date in Tokyo 2020 last four
• Fiji and New Zealand to collide in other semi-final

Great Britain's women will play France on Saturday for a place in the Tokyo Olympics sevens final. A 21-12 victory over the United States put them into the semi-finals, which means they have at least matched their performance at the Rio Games five years ago.

It was a dominant display that saw Jasmine Joyce score the opening try after just 38 seconds. Holly Aitchison converted, and then added the extras to an Abbie Brown touchdown as Britain built a 14-point interval lead.
