Things didn't get much better on day two as the team lost to Japan 22-10 and France 22-17. Tikoisuva and Sione Masoe would score against Japan. Against France, Tikoisuva added another try along with Malcolm May and Aaron Matthews. Because the U.S. only has four points on no wins they have been eliminated from medal contention.
