The wait is finally over! The Six Nations returns next week, and for the first time in history, the tournament is breaking tradition with a massive Thursday night kickoff. At Deepings RUFC, we’re not waiting until Saturday to get the party started. We are opening the clubhouse doors early to make sure you have the best seat in the house for every big hit, try, and tactical masterclass.

To celebrate this historic Thursday start, we’re bringing our famous "Friday Full Time Whistle" deals forward! On Thursday, 5th February, you can enjoy the match with a brilliant offer on drinks:

Keg Beers, Spirits, and Selected Wines – All priced at just £4.00! Just show your membership card at the bar.

Whether you're coming straight from work or heading down with the squad, there’s no better way to settle in for the opening clash of the tournament.
