Kerevi came on in the second spell and scored a try and is expected to start against South Korea later today.

One of the gold medal contenders, USA, had to play until the dying seconds of the game to beat Kenya.

Kenya was leading 14-12 with less than a minute to play before USA halfback Kevon Williams broke loose just five meters out from his own try line and delivered the final pass to Madison Hughes who ran away to score.
