Legendary Rugby Star Hosts Exclusive Q&A In London
Rugby legend Neil Back launches the British & Irish Lions Tour 2025 at SPORT London’s Greenwood venue, hosting a special Q&A before fans watch live matches on massive UHD screens.
Rugby fever is set to grip the capital as the much-anticipated British & Irish Lions Tour kicks off this Friday, 20th June, 2025. To celebrate this epic summer of rugby, SPORT London venues are transforming into the ultimate fan hubs, delivering live match screenings, unbeatable atmospheres, and exclusive events across the city.
The action kicks off in style at Greenwood, Victoria, with a special event featuring England and Lions legend Neil Back. Known as one of the game’s greats, the three-time Lions tourist and 2003 World Cup winner will host a live Q&A session at 7pm before joining fans to watch the Lions take on Argentina in their warm-up clash at 8pm. This is a golden opportunity for fans to connect with an icon of the sport and hear insider insights ahead of the big game.
SPORT London’s venues are the go-to spots for rugby enthusiasts, boasting absolutely massive UHD screens, stadium-quality sound systems, and buzzing matchday vibes. Whether you’re cheering for the Lions or just soaking up the electric atmosphere, fans can count on a game-day experience that’s next to none. And with every Lions match this summer being shown live, there are plenty of opportunities to join in the action.
No match experience is complete without great food and drink, and SPORT London delivers with a superb menu of matchday treats. Weekend games will feature an all-day brunch offering, with highlights such as bacon butties, breakfast burritos, and the indulgent Lions Breakfast Burger. Of course, Guinness will be flowing on tap, and for those looking to raise a toast, a Black Velvet cocktail serves as the perfect matchday twist.
The excitement continues in July, with another major rugby moment on Saturday, 19th July, for the first test against the Wallabies. Greenwood will welcome Anthony Watson, the two-time Lions tourist and Six Nations winner, for a pre-match meet and greet, followed by a post-match Q&A to break down the action.
SPORT London’s venues are the heart of live sport in the capital this summer, promising unforgettable matchday experiences for fans of all ages. With demand expected to soar, rugby lovers are encouraged to book their spots early via sportlondon.co.uk to secure the best seats in the house.
