The Army v Navy match at Twickenham on 1 May will be one of the keenest fought between these two old adversaries since the competition began in 1878. The Army has claimed victory in the last seven encounters and will be going flat out for a record ‘Straight Eight’ win.

However, it would be foolhardy to underestimate the Royal Navy. The senior service now has a very competitive squad and they are at their best when the chips are down.

Expect 80 minutes of fireworks on the pitch between these traditional rivals.

Full details on the match can be can be found on the official Babcock Trophy Army Navy match website.
