Have 1 RW started to play their Army Cup games yet? I see 2 RW have withdrawn from the competition (so Army Rugby site) says.

Their game last week was called off (2 Yorks, old Duke of Boots) could not raise a team.

Current Army Cup match's to be played:

12 Nov 9 Sup v 1 R Welsh Chippenham

26 Nov 1 WG v 1 R Welsh Aldershot

sad days for army rugby when the duke of wellingtons cant raise a team

**Rog Ball 01** · 13-10-2008, 18:17

True Keith, very sad days.

**Dai72** · 13-10-2008, 18:47

They could not raise a team worthy of the fixture (did not want an hammering).

You cant possibly be accusing the R WELSH of packing a team. I am sure the former 2nd Bn guys have been officially posted to the 1st Bn for " operational reasons" Same tactic as 7 RHA 2 SIGS etc used to pull not so long ago ?

I agree Colin. Some of the guys that are crossing from 2 to 1 RW, were originally 1 RWF, and went across due to Army/Combined Service/civilian club Rugby.

Are 7 RHA still playing the posting in/out game?
