Wear the Rose Live
Rugby fans are invited to show their support for the England team heading to this summer’s World Cup at this special event featuring the full men’s England Rugby squad and coaches, as well as England legend Jonny Wilkinson and other special guests.
Wear the Rose Live will feature live music alongside a variety of carnival stalls and rugby games, manned by the players, with a chance for fans to win prizes.
Eddie Jones, England Rugby head coach, said: “It’s great to have our supporters and players from the community game at the centre of the Wear the Rose Live event.
is needed now More than ever
“We are highly motivated to win and to inspire the country later this year. To be given the opportunity to spend the afternoon with so many of our fans in Bristol will be great and for us to show our appreciation for all their support before we head to Japan.”
England Rugby legend Jonny Wilkinson added: “I know first-hand the difference the power of support can make to a player. Wear the Rose Live will show the England Rugby team just how much the nation is behind them, I’m looking forward to attending as a fan and showing the players and coaches my support ahead of Japan.”
Gareth Griffiths, head of sponsorship at O2, said: “As lead partner of England Rugby, we want the team to feel the full power of the nation’s support, and what better way to do that than inviting fans to meet the players at Wear the Rose Live.
“Support is everything in sport – it can change a game and prepare players for the challenges ahead. Bringing the entire playing squad, Eddie and his coaching team to meet the Bristol rugby community, so the fans can show their support, is really exciting. We can’t wait.”
