Thursday 16th January 2025, Midday, East Wing, Allianz Stadium, Twickenham

For the fourth year running, Realia will be holding its Rugby Six Nations preview lunch in aid of the MyName’5Doddie Foundation and Rob Burrow and his family

The ticket price is £250pp, which includes a champagne reception, four course meal and ½ bottle of wine per person.

We are selling tables of 8,6,4 and 2, with tables of 8 and 6 being hosted by a legend of your choice (subject to availability).

As usual, we have an incredible line up of talent this year, including dual-code internationals, British Lions and international referees. Once again, the superb Brian Carney will be our host.

Everyone at Realia and the legends support this event for free in order to maximise the donation to the two charities.
