South Africa shocked New Zealand 14-7 on Thursday to earn an Olympic rugby sevens semi-final against France, while double-defending champions Fiji edged Ireland and will meet Australia in Saturday's medal matches.
The clash between Argentina, who won the regular season world series, and France, who beat them in the new end-of-season grand final, was always likely to be high-octane. But there was an extra edge at the Stade de France with the Argentines being booed by French fans in the wake of a video showing some Argentine international footballers singing a racist song about the French team.
Fiji extended their proud record of winning every match they have played at the Olympics since sevens was introduced in 2016 but they were pushed all the way by a remarkable Irish side who are relative newcomers to the format.
