International Defence Rugby Competition Build-Up In Full Swing
England may have been unceremoniously dumped out of their home World Cup, but that doesn't mean there won't be rugby stars from Blighty in action this autumn.
The military version of the Rugby World Cup, the International Defence Rugby Competition, is now just hours away.
It'll run throughout October and pit 12 teams of battle-hardened soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines against each other to determine the greatest Armed Forces rugby team on the planet.
Teams from across the world will be hosted by the Royal Navy, the Army and the RAF for pool matches in Portsmouth, Aldershot and RAF Halton before the semi-finals and the final are held at The Stoop, home of Harlequins, during the week of the Rugby World Cup final.
