It was a tearful end to Kenya Sevens rugby team Shujaa’s campaign here at the Tokyo Stadium on Tuesday morning as team captain Andrew Amonde fought back tears trying to explain how his charges had bowed out at the group stages without winning a match.

Kenya started the Olympics campaign on Monday with a 19-14 loss to USA before going down 14-5 to South Africa and 12-7 to Ireland.
