Leicester Tigers Trio Set to Shine in UK Armed Forces Clash

Tonight, Leicester Tigers players Rebecca de Filippo, Lucy Nye, and Orla Proctor are all geared up to play for the UK Armed Forces. It’s a special Remembrance match against Bristol Bears, and the kick-off is at 7.45pm at Gloucester’s Kingsholm Stadium. What’s interesting is that although they’re representing the UK Armed Forces inter-services team, all three actually serve in the RAF. Rebecca is an Air Specialist (Class 1), Lucy is a Flight Lieutenant, and Orla is a Corporal. Rebecca will be starting at inside-centre, Lucy, who’s the vice-captain, will be at scrum-half, and Orla will be on the bench as a versatile back-three player, ready to make an impact when she gets her chance.
