The UK Armed Forces women's rugby union team are out of contention for the International Defence Rugby Competition crown after a second defeat in the competition.

Their 17-10 loss to Fiji saw a lot of fight from the UKAF team but it wasn't enough as they fell to defeat.

It was their second loss in as many games after being beaten by Australia and they are sat bottom of Pool B.

Due to the rules of the competition, they will now be out of contention for the IDRC trophy but will be fighting for the Plate tournament.

They will face the team bottom of Pool A in the semi-final which are Vanuatu & Papua New Guinea.

That match will start at 11:00 BST on 18 October.
