If it wasn’t Jonny wowing the crowd with a remarkably personal insight into his drop goal that won the trophy in 2003 at England Rugby House, it was Jonno, John Eales and John Smit trying to outdo each other at our exclusive League of Our Home game or Scott lighting up the stage with stories from the past.

And with flight giveaways, a band and plenty of refreshments, clients enjoyed a brilliant end to the 10th tournament, all hosted by ITV’s Ben Shephard.

ENGLAND RUGBY HOUSE

Two huge rugby occasions, two incredible experiences at England Rugby House - what a way to finish Rugby World Cup 2023. On the eve of England's bronze final, Jonny Wilkinson gave a remarkably humble and personal take on his rugby life that reached its pinnacle with his winning drop-goal in the 2003 final. Insightful, honest, candid, Jonny was the star of England Rugby House for an exclusive evening alongside Ben Shephard. And with selfies, autographs and chats, it really doesn't get much better. The final England Rugby House of the tournament was on matchday - and what an epic finale. Martin Johnson was joined by the legendary John Eales and John Smit for a look at what it takes to lift the trophy, while Samoa coach Tana Umaga added his own insight into the tournament. Scott Quinnell raised the roof with a great performance before 'The Year of The Dog' played fans out to a chorus of Sweet Caroline - an incredible experience that was a great prelude to the final.
