RFMF Rugby Team to face France in the Defence Rugby World Cup final

RFMF Rugby Team to face France in the Defence Rugby World Cup final

The Republic of Fiji Military Forces Rugby Team is all set to defend their Defence Rugby World Cup title for the third year in a row after defeating the UK Armed Forces rugby team 41-29 during the semi final last night.

The Fiji Army team was instrumental with their magical footwork and hard tackles that saw the UK Armed Forces struggle to capitalise on their game plan.

Fiji scored 4 tries while the UK Armed Forces scored two tries through James Roberts and Solo Radianirova.

However, a flurry of Fijian attacks in the final ten minutes put the game out of sight despite a red card for the men in white.

Fiji will face France in the Defence Rugby World Cup final this Sunday.
