Papua New Guinea's bid to reach consecutive Women's Rugby League World Cup knockout stages is in jeopardy after a 40-4 defeat by Fiji.
The result was Fiji's biggest win and came in the team's first-ever tournament appearance.
In Port Moresby on Saturday, the Bulikula led 30-4 at halftime despite punishing conditions and a vocal home crowd.
Sienna Laing put Fiji ahead after four minutes, and although PNG hooker Ua Ravu soon replied, Fiji took control.
Luisa Yaranamua scored before substitute forward Lorren Ieli helped spark a run of tries by Taina Naividi, Losana Lutu and Tahlia Marshall.
Marshall added two more after halftime to complete her hat-trick as Fiji kept the Orchids scoreless in the second half.
After narrowly losing to New Zealand last week, Fiji now face France on the Gold Coast next Saturday; a win would secure a semi-final place.
PNG must take on the Kiwi Ferns, who have never lost to the Orchids, and need a major upset to remain in contention.
Even a New Zealand loss may not save PNG, whose points difference has been hurt by the heavy defeat, from missing the knockouts for a second successive tournament.
