After the loss, Team UK's Russell Hunt told Forces News that spirits were still high.

He said: "Medals are great and fantastic but that's not what this process is about.

"We've all been on a journey.

"We've come together as a team and the vast majority of us never played wheelchair rugby before we started training with Invictus.

"To go from that to silver medallists at the Games - we're all on a high."
