Welcome to the Army Navy Match 2009! Thunder at Twickenham but - more than just a rugby match...
The Army v Navy match at Twickenham
on 2 May will be one of the keenest fought between these two
old adversaries since the competition began in 1878. The Army
has claimed victory in the last seven encounters and will
be going flat out for a record ‘Straight Eight’
win. However, it would be foolhardy to underestimate the Royal
Navy. The senior service now has a very competitive squad
and they are at their best when the chips are down. Fireworks?
- eighty minutes worth!
