The South West of England's first LGBT+ inclusive rugby team is preparing for a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to play in an international competition.
The Bristol Bisons RFC team, first set up in 2005, will head to Brisbane, Australia, to take part in the Bingham Cup - an international gay rugby union tournament.
Taking place from 19 to 23 August, the tournament aims to attract players from around the world and marks the first time the Bristol Bisons have played in the southern hemisphere.
Director of rugby and head coach Sasha Acheson said the team were "determined to grab this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with both hands, playing with courage, creativity and relentless intent".
She said: "If we leave Australia knowing we honoured the opportunity, each other, and everything this journey could be, the results will be incredible."
