Great Britain Royals lifted the Plate at the Europe Grand Prix Sevens Series in Kazan yesterday while the Great Britain Lions came third overall.
The Great Britain Lions beat Ireland 32-0 in the third-place play-off after losing to Russia 19-17 in the semi-final.
While their GB counterparts thrashed Spain 44-0 in their plate final to round-off a successful last event prior to the Olympic Games.
Head coach Simon Middleton said: “Obviously I am disappointed as we came here with the intention of winning. The Lions played really well in five games but failed to execute to our standards in the Russia game.”
“Although ultimately it was disappointing from a team performance, there were some outstanding individual performances and from that the final selection picture has become clearer.”
