RIO DE JANEIRO -- Osea Kolinisau and his world champion Fijians face enormous expectations in the Olympic rugby sevens semifinals.They will face a Japanese team that itself has already far exceeded expectations by reaching the medal rounds.Kolinisau scored a crucial try in Fijis 12-7 win over New Zealand on Wednesday in a quarterfinal match between the two teams widely expected to be playing for gold.Japan played a remarkable role in the tumultuous pool stage that had New Zealand on the verge of failing even to reach the playoffs in rugbys return to the Olympics after 92 years.The upheaval started with Japans stunning 14-12 win over the New Zealanders on Day 1, a result etched in history as the biggest upset in rugby sevens. The Japanese followed that up with a narrow 21-19 loss to Britain and win on Wednesday over Kenya before a 12-7 quarterfinal win over France.No. 2-ranked South Africa had a more conventional run, and overturning an earlier loss to Australia in a 22-5 quarterfinal win to set up a semifinal match against Britain, which needed a try in golden-point extra time from Dan Bibby to edge Argentina 5-0.It leaves the Fijians as favorites to win their countrys first Olympic medal. Kolinisau knows that only one color will satisfy Fiji, where rugby sevens is the national sport.The public back home is a crazy rugby nation, Kolinisau said. Every time the Fiji team comes out, they always expect a win. Weve been under the pump a lot the last few years.We need to treat Rio like the (world) series, not let the Olympics get into our heads.Fiji and Britain are the only unbeaten teams in the tournament. The Fijians had wins over Brazil and Argentina on the opening day and held off the United States 24-19 in the last of the pool-stage games when quarterfinal positions were still at stake.Weve got one aim and thats to win gold medal, not silver or bronze, Fiji coach Ben Ryan said. Sometimes its dangerous to set out outcome goals as a coach.But were No. 1 in the world. Were not trying to be arrogant, were saying this is what we want. Silver will be a disappointment as bronze and fourth place.Auckland-born Lomano Lemeki played a pivotal role in Japans run to the semifinals, and said hed probably be the most unpopular Kiwi in the world after playing a part in New Zealands early exit. It doesnt worry him at all, though, given the attention the Japan team is getting for its performance in Rio.Its pretty crazy. Weve been told weve got to turn our phones off between games, he said. I think rugbys starting to get bigger than soccer over there.Japan produced the biggest upset ever at last years Rugby World Cup with a win over South Africa in the group stage in the marquee tournament for the 15-a-side game. Lemeki said that victory helped inspire the team, but he didnt realize just how much.I thought wed come here, win a few games, give it a good go. I thought wed be lucky to make the quarters, let alone the semis, he said. So I dont know whats happened here.Lemeki said all the pressure was now on Fiji, and the Japanese team would play with freedom because every game after the group stage was a bonus.
