France's emphatic run at the Hong Kong Sevens continued on Sunday as they scored a dramatic, nail-biting victory over Fiji to book a place in the final where they will battle Argentina.

The French had knocked out two-time defending champions New Zealand in the quarterfinals the day before.

Similar to that game, France fell behind against Fiji, but they quickly bounced back to take a 10-7 halftime lead.

The two sides then went back-and-forth before the final play that went in favour of France.

The referee called for video review over Matteo Garcia's try, eventually ruling it was successful.

France won 24-17.

Argentina booked the other berth in the final by defeating Australia 31-7, thanks in part to a hat-trick of tries from German Schulz.

Neither France nor Argentina have won the title before.

In the women's draw, New Zealand's quest for a third consecutive title is very much alive as they crushed Canada 41-0 in the semi-final.

They'll meet rivals Australia in the title showdown.

Jazmin Felix-Hotham scored two tries as New Zealand put the game out of reach in the first half, leading 26-0 at intermission.

In the other semis, Maddison Levi's hat-trick helped Australia to a 28-5 victory over France.
