Fiji head coach John McKee declares himself "proud" of his side following their displays at the Rugby World Cup, but admits to being "frustrated" by the lack of points.

John McKee has admitted to being 'proud but frustrated' by Fiji's performance against Wales.

The Southern Hemisphere side battled hard but fell to a defeat in their latest Pool A outing.

Fiji were dealt the toughest of hands at the Rugby World Cup, having been drawn in a group containing three of the world's top six sides, but McKee remained in an upbeat mood as his charges bowed out.

"I'm extremely proud of our team for the effort and the hard work that went into the game," he told reporters. "To go so close, although frustrating, I cannot fault our team for the work and effort.

"It's pretty frustrating for me with no points on the table. We knew when we were coming here what a difficult pool we were coming into, but we had high expectations. We have a talented group of players and we work really, really hard to get where we are.

"To play England, Australia and Wales in 13 days is a very, very tough task for any team in world rugby and it's an absolute credit to this squad and all the players we've got, the support team and coaching staff how we've stood up and been so competitive."

Fiji face Uruguay in their final fixture next Tuesday.
