England's bid for a fifth Hong Kong Sevens title in seven years was ended by a narrow 17-12 quarter-final defeat to defending champions Samoa.
Ben Ryan's team had beaten Samoa in four out of five previous meetings in Hong Kong, including in Pool B on Day Two where they emerged narrow 7-5 victors.
But the Pacific islanders avenged the group defeat to set up a last-four meeting with South Africa. Results
