Micky-I was a bit disappointed with the RAF- Speaking to the Army Coach he tells me that the team was pretty much the development team from last year.(I think the lack of the old guard has done them a favour). The Army only made a couple of interchanges due to lack of numbers- 8 and 10 went the distance due to lack of interchange options (17 was the only forward interchange available). I thought the Army worked the RAF 6 well as he was the danger man. Good win for the Army-Bring on the semi pro teams

Think its the problem with the military rugby, they can only turn out the team that they can raise on the day with the limitations of guys being on ops and stuff
The army squad did have a couple of the old guard there, but yep some of the new faces coming in to the main squad, and some real pace around the fringes, taking the 2 points on the conversions helped as well, and a couple of those from the touch line.
The 1 pointer showed the guys were thinking
RAF squad made a few silly errors, but you just got the feeling all the way through that the Army would come good.
sadly the Navy lost up in warrington yesterday so Army the only service rep left for the next round, hope they get a good draw
