UKAF lose IDRC opener to Australia
The UK Armed Forces women's rugby union have opened their International Defence Rugby Competition with defeat to Australia.
A 32-20 loss in New Zealand was not the start to the IDRC tournament that John Wilding's team were hoping for.
The competition is running alongside the Women's World Cup in New Zealand – where RAF star Amy Cokayne scored twice for England against Fiji.
