Rugby: India suffer 2 defeats

The Indian women's Rugby 7s team suffered humiliating defeats in its first two matches.

India began its group stage campaign with a massive 0-38 loss to Hong Kong.

Later in the day, defending champion Japan hammered the Indians 45-0 in the Pool F match, effectively ending its chances of making it to the semi-finals.

India will next be up against Singapore on Monday and will try to register a win that could allow it to finish third in Group B and feature in the classification playoff for the fifth-sixth place.
