Canada stunned Australia in the semifinals while the United States held their own against New Zealand.
China vs. Great Britain
Great Britain, on the last play of the match, committed an unforgiveable mistake to fall to China, 19-15.
Isla Norman-Bell made a fatal error as time expired in the match and threw the ball out of bounds, which is illegal to end a match. A rattled Great Britain was unable to stop Hu Yu’s game-winning try and China advanced to play in the 5th – 6th placement match.
Ellie Kildunne scored the first try of the match for Great Britain, but China used space to its advantage to score two unanswered tries.
Great Britain answered with two tries of its own around the half, including a try by three-time Olympian Jasmine Joyce.
China 19, Great Britain 15
