Just four teams remain in the main tournament after a blockbuster quarter-final round saw three of the favourites barge through, with one falling in a great Olympic upset at the Stade de France.

New Zealand proved far too strong as they overcame a Chinese side that had sadly stepped just one stage too far. The match finished 55-5 with seven Black Ferns getting their names on the scoresheet.

Great Britain had their exit confirmed by an in-form American side, as the USA continued their impressive display with a 7-17 victory over the combined nations.

Hosts France were left devastated and in visible tears on the field as their quarter-final opponents Canada shocked the Stade de France by knocking out the hosts 14-19 in a closely fought match. Despite trying to unlock the Canadian defence in the dying seconds, the visitors held strong.

Finally, tournament favourites Australia barely broke a sweat as Charlotte Caslick and friends played around as if they were simply down their local park without a care in the world. 40-7 to the girls in gold.
