Forces Rugby Stars Prepare For Massive Australian Clash

7th July 2015 at 4:40pm

Great Britain's forces rugby league players are gearing up to play arguably the biggest game in their history in the early hours of Wednesday morning - a test match against the Australian military in front of tens of thousands of fans.

The match, at the Suncorp Stadium, will be a curtain raiser to the annual State of Origin match between Queensland and New South Wales, part of a three-match series between the two teams.

Forces TV's Jon Knighton spoke to Warrant Officer Damian Clayton, the GB forces head coach, from Brisbane via Skype.
