Amor targets quarter-final victory over Fiji

A 21-21 draw with the Americans in the group decider means Amor's troops will now square off with the Fijians for a spot in the semi-finals of the Hong Kong Sevens.

The day had started well for Amor with his side picking up a 17-7 victory over Kenya to add to yesterday's win over Wales.

But a back and forth matchup with the USA proved to be their undoing as they narrowly missed out on top spot on points difference.

"It was a fantastic game against the USA and I'm sure the crowd loved it. I am really pleased with the heart the players showed and how we kept on battling," said Amor.

"It is disappointing because we had a few opportunities to win the game but our decision making wasn't quite sharp enough at critical moments. To get the draw certainly isn't the end of the world and we can look forward to building on it tomorrow.

"Fiji are really in form at the moment, they are reigning champions from Las Vegas so it will be a big challenge.

"Last time we played them we managed to turn them over so we know the type of game plan we will want to execute and, if we get that right, we can get the result we need."
