THE Royal Navy will be looking for their first Inter-Service Championship title since 2010 when they take on the Army in front of 80,000 people at Twickenham on Saturday.
The Navy go into the game knowing that a five-point victory over their rivals would secure them the crown.
However, for the first time in 21 years the Inter-Service title might not go to either the Army or Navy.
The RAF are in pole position for the trophy, which they have not won since 1994, after beating the Army 33-29 and coming back in sensational fashion to earn a 32-32 with the Navy.
The Navy will include a number of former Plymouth rugby players in their squad for Saturday’s game, including prop Kyle Mason, winger Jon Marlin and centre Matt Tichias.
