Japan's incredible run at the men's rugby sevens tournament at the Rio Olympics continued Wednesday with two more wins to reach the semifinals.
A majestic 31-7 victory over Kenya in their final pool game at Deodoro Stadium was followed by a gutsy 12-7 triumph over France as Tomohiro Segawa's team moved to within one win of an Olympic medal.
"It feels like we are approaching our target step by step," Segawa said. "The team have achieved momentum and I want us to preserve that in our preparations. Even in the rain we were able to play well in their half of the field."
