The favourites in the Olympic Rugby Sevens competition moved safely through to the quarter-finals after the opening pool matches in hot and humid conditions on Monday, but the fate of Australia and hosts Japan hangs in the balance.
New Zealand brushed aside the strong challenge of Argentina in their second game in Pool A, winning 35-14 to book their place in the last eight. The Argentines need to beat minnows South Korea on Tuesday to go through.
Australia may have to beat the All Blacks on day two to keep their hopes alive, though a thumping 42-5 victory over the Koreans improved their points difference after a poor showing in an opening 29-19 loss to Argentina.
