England international Semesa Rokoduguni will lead the Army charge in the annual Babcock Trophy showdown with the Royal Navy in front of 80,000 at Twickenham, live on Sky Sports, on Saturday.
The Army will be attempting to win the prestigious match for the fifth straight year, and they go into the match as favourites.
Bath wing Rokoduguni, a Lance Corporal in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards is the highest profile player on show, though the Army also boasts Ospreys hooker – and Welsh Guards Lance Sergeant – Matt Dwyer.
Chris Budgen, the former Northampton and Exeter prop and a Lance Corporal in the Royal Welsh, is also in the starting line-up. Completing a powerful front row is Lance Corporal Ricky Reeves, who was once on Wasps’ books.
The Army, as usual, have a strong Fijian element to their squad, with five starting and one more on the bench. The Navy have two Fijians in their team.
The Royal Engineers, the 2015 Army Corps champions, supply six of the Army's starting XV.
