Go Goats, thump the doggies! With of course, all due respect to the Soldiers out there

I once heard, there are lies, damned lies and finally....statistics :-)

Non sibi sed suis! Old sailors still have to cheer the swabies--its in our DNA

[McClef]

I'm waiting to support the Welsh Navy!

[Cerebite]

Here is hoping that the RN will follow the lead of their USN counterparts where IIRC the Army is 0 for the DECADE even last year when the ARMY wore ACU to try and hide on the field.

Not going to happen - Think Fijians.

The gauntlet has been thrown!

[Good Egg]

The Army stuffed the Navy 50 - 7. The Navy only scored right at the end, although the overall score does not quite do them justice. The Navy pack was weak and the Army had a phenomenal pair in the line out, I've never seen anyone pushed up so high.

BTB I have to report that I let the side down and wore trousers.
