The Royal Welsh Tune Into Six Nations In The Snowy Estonian Forest

Even -6C conditions in a snowy Estonian forest didn't stop Soldiers from the 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh from tuning into the Six Nations to see Wales take on England.

Amongst an array of Warrior armoured vehicles, support trucks and Challenger 2 tanks, the troops huddled around a laptop balanced on ration pack boxes to watch the game.

Following a day of intense cold weather training, the majority of the battalions spirits were unfortunately not lifted as England beat Wales in a 12 - 6 victory.

There were only a small minority of England fans who were happy with the result.

Lieutenant Jules Farrow, from Cambridgeshire, who watched the game as one of the few Englishmen in The Royal Welsh, said he had "mixed emotions" at the final whistle.

The 25-year-old added: "Obviously you've got to think about the morale of the troops, being The Royal Welsh, they are obviously disappointed.

"My morale has lifted."

When asked about bragging rights it was clear that they were totally off the cards as the English are "outnumbered!"

But at the end of day Lt Farrow said being able to watch games such as the latest Six Nations clash, during an exercise which spans several days and often keeps them away from the main camp,

"boosts morale massively".
