Behind The Scenes: Meet The Army and Navy Teams

Ahead of the sell-out centenary Army v Navy rugby match we were invited into the changing rooms of both teams. 

The Army players had been hoping for a "red-emption day" after the Senior Service lifted the title last season.

Twelve months ago they let slip a commanding 26-9 point lead before eventually drawing the contest 29-29, a result that saw the Navy crowned champions.

Legend has it that more beer is bought and consumed at the Army v Navy than on all of the England Rugby team's annual home fixtures added together.

WATCH: 'The Dizzy Drop Goal Challenge' with the Army

You can watch live coverage of the Army v Royal Navy clash on Forces TV (Sky channel 264, Virgin 277 and Freesat 165) on Saturday from 14:50 BST, and listen live on BFBS Radio.

Plus there'll be lots of colour and fun from the day itself on Forces.net and Forces News and BFBS Radio's Facebook pages.
