I’m occasionally asked by PR types (of which I’m one) to promote events, products or other fun stuff and mainly I don’t, but on this occasion I thought I’d play. Mainly because a mate of mine went to this one last year and said it was a top night.

So:

The England Legend’s team, captained by Martin Corry, will include Jason Robinson, Jason Leonard, Austin Healey, Mark Regan, Richard Cockerill and Andy Gomarsall.

Ireland will be hoping to reclaim the Stuart Mangan Memorial Cup from last year with Shane Byrne leading a team including Mick Galway, Eric Miller, Malcolm O’Kelly, Nick Popplewell, Justin Bishop, Kieron Dawson and Anthony Foley.

Pity the poor bugger who has to ref that lot!!

But who ever has that lucky evening appointment, it’s all being played for a great cause – the RFU Injured Players Foundation, RPA Benevolent Fund in England and IRFU Charitable Trust in Ireland, and both teams are also proud to support Tickets for Troops at the game.

Tickets are from £10, concessions £5, and are on sale from www.englandirelandlegends.co.uk or www.quins.co.uk . Sure you’ll be able to pay at the gate!

Not a bad way to start St Patrick’s Day weekend eh!?!
