RNRU Royal Navy Rugby Union

Both the Royal Navy Senior teams play their last warm up fixture tonight before taking to Twickenham turf.

With one eye on the Army v Navy fixture every player will be aware that tonight is the last chance to show off what they can do and to try anything new.

With the historic first Women's Inter Service fixture to be played in the Twickenham Stadium next week the Navy Women will head up the A3 to Guildford Rugby Club for a 1945 KO against Guildford Ladies as their final preparation. Head coach Lieutenant Commander Charlie Fredrickson said "As the penultimate game in the 2021/22 season this is an important one for the RNRU(W). It will allow us to build on the progress made against the RAF and refine the game plan ahead of facing the Army next week. It is also the last opportunity for the players to stake their claim to a shirt for Twickenham and as Guildford are a testing opposition it makes for an exciting encounter. "

The men on the other hand will keep things familiar. Having trained all season at the home of 40 Commando near Taunton they will not travel far to repeat their season opener against Taunton RFC at Veritas Park for a 1930 Kick Off.
