Army vs Navy, TV coverage?

Anyone know if there's any coverage of the annual beating of the boat based sodomists?

Many thanks, it's 3pm apparently.

Fantastic atmosphere down at Twickenham - 72,471 in attendance - the highest crowd ever for an amateur match at Twickenham.

Fair play to the Army for their dominant second half - Navy certainly showed them how to play for the first 25 minutes though.

Date for next year - Saturday 3 May.

Bah. Naval mate rang me on Tues asking if I was in the country this week as he had tickets to the game. Humbug

72k is a hell of a figure. Usually the top tiers are empty apart from streakers.

What a cracking game that was.

The matelots came out, fnarr fnarr, all guns blazing in the first quarter, but some of the Army back play from then on was superb, strength, power, pace, handling all you'd hope to see.

Great to see the predominance, and preeminence, of Sappers in the Army side.

Ubique!

Ubique?

Uber Alisdair Platz, you mean...

Fantastic day out - we took three full 50-seat coaches from our little club. Last time I went the flippin' Navy won, so it was good to see normal service resumed.

Only one streaker, and he didn't really try very hard - somehow it's not quite the same without someone doing laps of the top deck.

All over the place is the drop shorts translation, not ours!
