Every year the Army v Navy rugby match creates the most competitive atmosphere of any encounter at Twickenham.

Since 1878 the Army and Royal Navy have competed for Service rugby supremacy, and from 1920 the battle ground has been Twickenham Stadium.

In last year's thriller, the British Army triumphed with a gusty second half performance. They will be keen to retain their new silverware, while the Navy will be desperate to get back to their winning ways. With both teams determined to out-do each other in front of 60,000 spectators, Twickenham on 28th April 2012 promises to deliver an explosion of raw passion in the battle for the Babcock Trophy.

Steeped in history and tradition both teams will enjoy overwhelming support from the crowd. Those who arrive at Twickenham on neutral ground will have an irresistable urge within minutes to choose whether they are supporting the Reds or Blues.

You can show support for your team and hear regular updates, offers and promotions on Facebook and Twitter.

Let us welcome you to Twickenham for what will undoubtedly be a dramatic and adreanaline fueled 80 minutes of rugby—and more.
