Wanted: Rugby teams to feature in O2’s new TV show with twinkletoes himself, Austin Healey.

As part of O2's ongoing commitment to grassroots rugby they have joined forces once again with twikletoes Austin Healey.

This time the former Leicester, England and Lions star will bring his mighty frame and big mouth to bear on a range of rugby club issues in a new series to air next year.

ITV are looking for club and university teams in need of drastic action and Austin’s priceless advice to feature in the series.

Do your forwards dance about the pitch like ballerinas? Do your backs keep running their hands through their hair... or just round in circles? Do you need better commitment to training sessions and more players? O2 and Austin will tackle these and other issues in 'The Big Tackle, with Austin Healey'.

To hear from Austin himself, get more details and apply for an opportunity to take part in the show, head to itv.com/bigtackle

"The Big Tackle with Austin Healey" is the latest O2 initiative designed to support Play On, the RFU's campaign to recruit and retain rugby players.

It follows the successful "O2 Scrum on the Beach" series of summer rugby events. Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming news about next summers beach rugby events, where you could get the chance to meet England players.
