With the World Cup fast approaching, there has never been a better time to join the England Rugby Supporters Club. And now you can buy membership in a box because ERSC gift boxes have just become available in 50 of the larger Tesco Extra stores around the UK and The Rugby Store on match days.

Priced at just £39.99, the box contains all membership details (including instructions on how to send for the personalised membership card, and receive complimentary annual subscription to England Rugby magazine), plus the members’ special pack, which includes a baseball cap, pin badge, poster and car sticker.

Other member benefits include: access to ticket discounts and international ticket ballots, travel packages to watch England in away matches, ERSC merchandise, discounts from The Rugby Store, exclusive offers and events for club members, regular email updates and a members-only website.
