England rugby sevens head coach Simon Amor is "incredibly proud" of his side despite their Commonwealth Games quarter-final exit at the hands of Samoa this afternoon.

England rugby sevens head coach Simon Amor has hailed his side's heart and desire despite their defeat to Samoa in the medal quarter-finals this afternoon.

England missed out on a place in the last four of the Commonwealth Games by a solitary point as Samoa held on to a 15-14 victory at Ibrox.

Amor admitted that his side weren't good enough in certain aspects to warrant the victory, but heaped praise on the level of commitment shown by the players.

"[I'm] naturally [frustrated], but I'm incredibly proud of the effort the guys showed right the way through this weekend. Their heart and their desire throughout was excellent," he told reporters.

"Unfortunately their decision-making and their execution wasn't good enough and, as a result, we didn't take our chances. At the top level you need your best guys to turn on the form and make good decisions, but unfortunately losing Tom [Mitchell to injury] was a tough one for us.

"He's an important part of our program and makes a lot of our decisions. His leadership is a big loss, but these things happen in sevens. I'm really proud of the way the guys rallied round and actually put in a good performance in some challenging conditions."

England will now face hosts Scotland in the plate semi-finals this evening.
