The UK Armed Forces under-23s men's rugby union team have beaten Bath University in dominant fashion.

A fast start saw UKAF race into a 28-5 lead at half-time and from there, they never looked back.

Their dominance continued in the second half as they added 19 more points to their total in a 47-15 win.

It's a rare fixture for the under-23s team with a number of players eyeing up slots in senior Inter Service teams next month.

The Army's Tom Bullock captained the team against Bath while the Navy's George Pooley was vice-captain.
