The Rugby Breakdown Pod Episode 2: It's Army v Navy week!

Watch: All roads lead to Twickenham in podcast episode 2

The Royal Navy and British Army rugby teams are in the final preparations for their massive clash at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday.

They meet in round two of the Inter Service Rugby Championship 2024.

The Navy men go into the fixture having narrowly beaten the Royal Air Force in Plymouth, while the Navy women are searching for their first win of this year's competition.

BFBS' rugby-mad Simon Hunter and JJ Bates look ahead to the iconic weekend after a remarkable start to the Inter Services.

They discuss THAT Will Lamont try, a picture-perfect Sam Matavesi finish and an agonising ending for the RAF in round one.

How might international stars grace the hallowed Twickenham turf? Will a rampant Navy men's side clinch a second successive title? Or will a determined Army side get back to winning ways?

And can the powerful Army women be stopped? Plus, the boys discuss the likelihood of fantastic (and hilarious) fancy dress on Saturday (which also happens to be Star Wars Day, in case you weren't already very excited…)

Check out our podcast above and don't forget you can watch all of the action LIVE on Forces News YouTube with coverage beginning at 13:45 UK time. And keep an eye across our Forces News socials and forcesnews.com for behind-the-scenes content and updates through the day.
