UK Armed Forces reach semi-finals of Defence World Cup with sensational 128-3 win over Spain

The UK Armed Forces rugby union team has marched into the semi-finals of the International Defence Rugby Competition after beating Spain 128-3.

It goes down as UKAF's biggest win in history - 45 points more than their previous record which was a 73-3 win over the British Fire Service in 2007.

The game saw a new UKAF record of 20 tries scored and for the first time, there were three hat-tricks from Ben Chambers, Vereimi Qorowale and Solo Radianirova.

Qorowale ended up with five tries, making him shoot up to the top UKAF try scorers list into joint third alongside Kieran Forbes - who was a hat-trick hero against Tonga in match one.

It was also the first time the UK Armed Forces team has breached the 100-point margin, helped by a 28-point haul from successful conversions from the Army's Jack Johnson.

UKAF have now booked their place in the semi-finals against an unconfirmed opponent on Sunday, September 3.
