Senior Women versus Bath Preview

The RNRU Senior Women travel to Somerset on Thursday to play Bath RFC Ladies. This will be the squad's the last preparation fixture before the start of the Inter Services campaign and it is an important one with the Light Blue of the RAF waiting to avenge their opening defeat to the Army.

Lt Cdr Paula Bennett-Smith, the RNRU Assistant Director of Rugby responsible for the Senior Women’s XV, said "With only a handful of games this season much has been learnt by both players and coaches. But with a consistent core to the team this presents a prime opportunity to fine tune the squad and game plan. This will give the Royal Navy Women a solid platform from which to display their best rugby in the two tough fixtures that follow.
