Two British Army stars have been included in the Scotland Bravehearts rugby league squad to face Wales next month.

Roserutabua 'Tawa' Tawanayavulala and Bill Seru will represent the Army and 2nd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland in the national side against the Welsh at Leigh East ARLFC on 12 October.

A strong performance from the pair could see them included in the Scotland squad that will head to Las Vegas for a high-profile clash with the USA in February.

Tawanayavulala also plays for Edinburgh Eagles, who lost out in last year's Scottish Premiership Grand Final, alongside Seru and four other members of the Scotland team.

The Bravehearts currently sit 22nd in the World Rankings but haven't played since a 30-14 loss to Fiji in October 2022.
