The British Army men's rugby union team have finished off their Southern Hemisphere tour with a thumping win over the Australian Defence Force Barbarians in Queensland, Australia.

The match was the final clash in a three-legged tour that saw the Army play in New Zealand and Fiji.

In Australia, the Army were in try-scoring mood with players crossing the try line on eight different occasions in a 56-24 win.

A double from Jack Johnson was the highlight and the other scorers were Mikey McDonald, Senetiki Nayalo, Vereimi Qorowale, Pete Austin, Rhys Roberts and Frank Kelly.

Johnson was also impressive with the boot, delivering five successful conversions with McDonald, Nayalo and Matt Blee also kicking over the posts during the game.
