UK Armed Forces preparing for improved Georgia at the World Cup

It's matchday two for the UK Armed Forces at the 2023 Forces World Cup and a tough Georgian test awaits.

In a rematch from 2019, the two teams will clash with the fate of the pool on the line as both sides won on the opening day.

Four years ago in Japan, UKAF delivered a stunning result and won by 69-3.

However, in France this summer, it's expected to be a much closer contest after Georgia put 87 points past Spain on Saturday.

"They're going to be a tougher challenge," said UKAF and RAF men's head coach, Flight Sergeant Justin Coleman.

"They're a lot more organised, they're a lot more structured and they're very efficient in the way they go about their business.

"We're hoping we can provide a sterner challenge than Spain did."

You can hear more from the UKAF boss as well a player's insight from Sergeant Matt Dawson in our video above.
