The Royal Navy Rugby Union's Senior Men head to Oxfordshire this week to take on 'The Villagers' of Chinnor RFC.

The RN will be hoping to bounce back after a disappointing trip to France where they were beaten by a strong Marine Nationale side in Vannes with a win against National 1 side Chinnor RFC.

Chinnor have already hosted and defeated the RAF this season and the men of Thame are comfortably mid table (sitting just above Taunton who have also provided RN opposition this year), they should therefore provide stiff opposition to an RN side who are beginning to hit their stride.

The match kicks off at 19:45 and all support is welcome.
