8.35pm AEST - Fours settle for silver

AUSTRALIA'S men's fours were forced to settle for a silver medal behind Great Britain at the rowing.

The Australian fours team of Williams Lockwood, Drew Ginn, James Chapman and Josh Dunkley-Smith picked up the pace over the last 300m but weren't able to bridge the gap.
