3. No, it's the final. :(

Still, well done to Fiji - their first ever Olympic medal, and it's gold. They were favourites before the competition, and silver is better than Britain was thought likely to do.

In terms of spectacle, Britain's quarter final against Argentina was a lot better - 0-0 at full time, so it went to sudden death, with Britain getting the first try in the end. And Britain v. South Africa was a good close game too - 7-5 to Britain.
