Rugby Teams From Across Military In Cyprus For Aki 10s

Rugby teams from across the British military are in Cyprus this week to play in the annual Akrotiri 10's competition.
 
The event is decades old but there were doubts it would actually take place this year because of the demands of Operation Shader.
 
Finding accommodation for the rugby teams hasn't been easy, with hundreds of extra personnel currently based on the island due to the UK's continuing aerial contribution to the fight against Islamic State.
