The Fiji Military Women's Rugby team delivered a strong performance, demolishing the Irish side 74-0 in the semi finals of the International Defence Rugby Championship 2025 in England.

The win set up a big clash with France in the final on Wednesday.

The Fiji side displayed running rugby from the first half, scoring tries from long range and displaying the Fijian flair during the game.

The women were simply unstoppable, scoring more than a bonus point victory to silence the Irish side.

Fiji Captain Esita Batiniqila says they are looking forward to the final, and it will not be an easy one.

She says they are aiming not to go home empty-handed.
