Key players to watch out for in RAF v British Army live Inter Services rugby league deciders
We're all set for a title-deciding double of Inter Services rugby league matches as the RAF men's and women's teams take on their British Army counterparts in Wakefield.
Coverage of the women's match begins at 2:15pm UK time, with the men's match starting at 5:15pm UK time on Friday on the BFBS Forces News YouTube channel.
But who are the key players to watch out for?
Hannah McCabe (RAF women)
The RAF are in contention for the women's championship after a tense 22-18 win over the Royal Navy in Portsmouth.
One of the Air Force's key performers at Burnaby Road was Hannah McCabe who scored twice after fluid attacking moves.
If the Air Force are to get the win they need, taking advantage of opportunities against a strong British Army team will be key and they will hope McCabe can provide more tries.
Charlotte Hill (British Army women)
Just ask the Royal Navy how dangerous of an attacking player Charlotte Hill can be.
She scored two first-half tries in the Army's 52-0 win, with both scores showing off her pace and strong running with the ball.
Hill is one of a number of Army try threats, with Akisi Yaravoli, Phoebe Partington and Zelah Yuill all scoring against the Navy.
In 2023, Hill was given player of the match awards for both matches at the Inter Services.
Liam Bradley (RAF men)
Liam Bradley is key figure in both the RAF and UK Armed Forces teams.
He scored an important try as the RAF beat the reigning champions in Portsmouth and also found himself on the scoresheet against the Army in 2023 and 2021.
His experience for the RAF and UKAF will be key as he played in important Inter Services, Challenge Cup and President's Cup clashes during his career.
Mitieli Vulikijapani (British Army men)
World Cup. Check. Inter Services. Check. Super League. Check.
The Army player with the most big match experience returned to the team for the 2024 Inter Services and despite a dominant Royal Navy win, the RAF will still be wary of Vulikijapani's talent.
The Fijian international will need to be at his best if the Army are to secure an Inter Services title as need to win by 73 points or more in Wakefield.
