British Army kick off defence of Inter Service title with convincing win over Royal Navy

The British Army women's rugby union team have started the defence of their Inter Service title with a win at Twickenham Stadium over the Royal Navy.

A dominant performance saw the ladies in red run out 78-5 victors.

The performances of Courtney Pursglove and Jade Mullen were key again as the Army continued their winning run against the Senior Service.

It sets up a winner-take-all battle with the RAF at Kingsholm Stadium next week - although the Army will know a draw will be enough to be champions due to their superior points difference.
