Kenya 7s picked another draw in the Dubai 7s after allowing  Great Britain to come from behind for a 14-14 in a Pool A match played on Saturday.

Shujaa had drawn with Australia, and lost to South Africa in the second match.  They were keen to win this to boost their quarterfinal chances.

Nelson Oyoo and Billy Odhiambo’s converted tries saw Kenya 7s take a 14-0 lead to the break before Britain responded with two converted tries in the second half for a 14-14 draw.

Kenya 7s end their group stage matches with five points and are bottom in the pool meaning they are out of the cup quarters. Shujaa will now shift focus on the ninth place-playoffs.

USA topped pool D with maximum points sealing their good run with a 14-12 win against Samoa. Samoa finished second with seven points in the pool despite the loss.

France also managed a 100% win record in their pool C with their final match ending as a 14-7 win over Ireland. Ireland edged Spain on point differential to reach the quarters despite all finishing level on six points.

Three teams tied on seven points in Pool B but it is Argentina and New Zealand who will reach the last eight.
