Rugby fans will get to question international legends in free event at the Arlington Hotel, Dublin on March 13.
Jonathan Davies heads up a list of rugby legends speaking at the Arlington Hotel, Dublin, ahead of Wales’ game with Ireland at Croke Park. .
Welsh fans will get the chance to question three rugby legends about their experiences and predictions for the game at a free event held in the heart of Dublin before the RBS Six Nations fixture.
The Arlington Hotel on O’Connell Bridge will turn into the Welsh fans headquarters during the build up to the game at the event which will also include Irish and British Lions legends Mick Galway and Ciaran Fitzgerald.
As well as serious questions, the legends will join in with the banter and discuss some of their other memorable moments on the pitch.
The panel:
Jonathan Davies - an inspirational fly-half for Wales in an international career that spanned eleven years either side of his switch to rugby league. Now a BBC commentator, Davies is respected for his technical knowledge of both rugby codes.
Mick Galway - capped 41 times at lock for Ireland and featured amongst the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand - memorably scoring the winning try in Ireland’s 1993 victory over England.
Hooker Ciaran Fitzgerald - captained Ireland to the Five Nations in 1983 and to two other triple crowns as well as featuring for the British Lions.
The forum kicks off from 11:00am on match day, allowing fans enough time to take part in the event well in advance of the kick off time.
Hotel owner, Louis Fitzgerald, said: “The Arlington O’Connell is normally a hive of activity before the big Six Nation’s games and we wanted to give something back to the fans who visit us year on year by creating this event.”
