Australia secure top spot in Armed Forces World Cup

Australia have beaten Fiji 38-24 today to make certain of pole position in the Armed Forces World Cup in Sydney.

 

The match was a dress rehearsal for the sides, who were both already assured of finishing in the top two, ahead of Sunday’s final at the Pepper Stadium.

 

The UK Armed Forces take on New Zealand shortly in the final `round robin’ fixture – a game that is a dress rehearsal for Friday’s Wooden Spoon clash.
