British Army women beaten by rampant Swedish team

The British Army women's rugby union team were on the losing end of a battle against Sweden in Aldershot.

A 27-0 score saw a much fitter and sharper Swedish team finish their European Championships warm-up matches with a win.

For the Army, there's plenty of work to do ahead of the clashes against the Royal Navy at Twickenham Stadium on May 4 and the Royal Air Force at Gloucester's Kingsholm Stadium on 11 May.

The Swedish tries were scored by Cornelia Noren, Carina Thrin and a hat-trick from Sara Jacobsson.

After the match, Army head coach Sara Mitchelson spoke to Forces News reporter Julian Evans and discussed how the loss gives them lots of aspects of their game to look at.

"We've not actually built our full squad yet," she said. "There's still players to see and players to develop all the way."
