Army men's rugby league beat Brazil in final Inter Services preparation match

The British Army men's rugby league team are heading into the 2025 Inter Services off the back of a 22-16 win over the Brazilian national team in Warrington.

The match, held at Crosfields ARLFC, saw the Army make a lightning start and dominate the first half to lead 22-0 at the break.

The second half was all Brazil though as they clawed back 16 points but ultimately, the Army held on to win.
