Kenya Lionesses lost their second consecutive Tokyo Olympics match after going down 12-35 to Russia in their second Pool C women’s rugby sevens match played at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium on Thursday.

Both sides had lost their openers to New Zealand and Great Britain respectively and needed to bounce back to winning ways but it was the Russians who emerged victorious.
