Army's Siva Naulago to miss Inter Services opener through suspension

One of the Army's key men will miss their Inter Services clash with the RAF in Gloucester after a red card in the Gallagher Premiership.

Siva Naulago was sent off playing for Bristol Bears against Bath for a dangerous tackle on Will Butt.

He's now been given a four-match ban for the incident, with the Inter Services match against the Air Force counting as part of the suspension.
