27 January - Trafalgar Square, London. Rugby fans in London will once again be able to kick their way to an RBS 6 Nations game. The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, sponsors of the RBS 6 Nations Championship, will be bringing the 'Kick for an RBS 6 Nations Ticket' competition to London at 11am on Friday 27 January 2006. Ex-international players Jason Leonard and Ieuan Evans will be joined by England player Olly Barkley and England kicking coach Dave Alred at Trafalgar Square on Friday 27th January encouraging fans to get involved.
RBS has created a unique virtual rugby kicking environment using inflatable rugby kicking posts. All aspiring kickers are invited to come down and test out their skills. The competition will tour the four Home Union capital cities, plus Cork, Birmingham, Manchester and Paris during January and February.
Competitors who manage to kick directly through the middle of the posts will have the chance to win a pair of tickets to an England game. Win or lose, no-one will leave Kick for an RBS 6 Nations Ticket empty-handed. There will be RBS mini-rugby balls for everyone who takes part and all goal scorers will win an official RBS 6 Nations supporters jersey.
