Fans Follow England to Rome, Paris and Edinburgh

England Rugby Travel has experienced phenomenal demand for its official supporter travel packages following England in the forthcoming 2008 RBS 6 Nations Championship.

England’s opening away trip to take on the Italians has sold out a month in advance with record numbers travelling to Rome for the game on Sunday 10 February.

There is still availability for England’s second away fixture against the French on Saturday 23 February which sees the rematch of the Rugby World Cup semi-final at the Stade de France. Packages for the weekend in Paris start from £299 per person

England’s final away fixture is against Scotland in Edinburgh on Saturday 8 March, and again England Rugby Travel is taking record numbers to Murrayfield, with limited availability left.

Options start from £299 per person and there are packages available with just a hotel and match ticket, or supporters can include all of the travel (flights or Eurostar) from the UK to Paris or Edinburgh.

Paul Vaughan, managing director of England Rugby Travel, said: “Travelling supporters are really appreciated by The England players and are truly ‘part of the team’ for away matches, creating that special England atmosphere across Europe and around the World.

“The Rugby World Cup was a big success for the RFU’s official travel company and we are pleased that supporters want to travel with England and the red rose. England Rugby Travel provides fans with guaranteed match tickets and the highest level of service possible.

“The success of the RBS 6 Nations official travel packages has illustrated how much fans want to get on the road and see the team in action in some great cities with some superb atmospheres.”
