Both of the RNRU Senior sides will play their final match before the Inter Service Championship kicks off on a busy Wednesday that also sees the Mariners travel to Torbay.
With the spectre of the RAF's light blue looming for all three sides, Wednesday will be the last chance to sharpen moves and confirm team sheets and the teams will travel to the West Midlands, Somerset and Devon to find their opposition.
After last week's big win the RNRU Senior Men will take on the British Police Service at Stourbridge RFC. The Police side have already lost to the Army and beaten the RAF and will be hoping to say that 2 out of 3 ain't bad against the Armed Forces this year.

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 RNRU Mariners are back in action tonight against her Majesty's Prison Service RFC in Havant.
As the season creeps closer towards the opening Inter Service match against the RAF Vulters, the RN Mariners will hope tonight's fixture against the Prison Service will help to lock down their best line up. The match takes place at the same venue as their last match against Havant RFC and the Mariners will be hoping to improve on a number of aspects, most notably their scrum.
The match kicks off at 19:30 and all support is welcome.

After a 2 year unexpected break rugby has finally returned to HMS Collingwood with an excellent start to what remains of the 2021/2022 season.
Training started in February with only a handful of players attending. As the weeks have gone by 30+ keen young men and women have attended, of varying experience levels.
Last week saw their first fixture against US Portsmouth 2s who are a very experienced side. Pitch conditions were quite challenging after the back to back recent storms. This was to be a big test and was played as a training game. Once the team had settled some very good flowing rugby and set pieces that had been used in training now were started to be seen. After 60 min...
