When it comes to rugby union, it is held high alongside other events like Six Nations, Tri Nations and the Guinness Premierships and regularly attracts an abundance of spectators whenever a match is held.
The event sees local teams from a range of countries going head to head for the honour of lifting the cup, with England, Scotland, Wales, France, Ireland and Italy involved (countries that also compete as the Six Nations). From October to the May of the following year some of the world’s best rugby players clash on the field and attempt to beat out the competition and climb in the ranks. So it is no wonder that rugby union tickets are in high demand with fans of the sport when the prestigious Heineken Cup emerges onto the scene.
There is a long list of names attached to the competition, with the French team Toulouse managing to lift the trophy on a number of occasions, as well as the London Wasps and the Leicester Tigers, plus Munster from Ireland. In between a host of other names have come out on top and this has ensured that the competition has remained popular and exciting each year, with the competition set to continue despite the threat of French teams withdrawing from the sport. So as the years go on, spectators can expect further high quality games of rugby union games to continue to be played as part of the European Rugby Cup.
After all, nothing quite beats witnessing such competitions first hand and this is why picking up sports tickets and experiencing the spectacle is the best way of taking in the sights and sounds of the Heineken Cup. Events will always be broadcast on television, but it does not come close to standing alongside like-minded sports fans and witnessing your favoured team devour the competition. Even if the team you are supporting fails to make it through the match, you can still relish in the spectacle as you are taken along a memorable ride.
So despite the abundance of high quality sports events out there, the Heineken Cup – plus the other events that make up the rugby union calendar – will always have a special place in the hearts of fans all over the country. With top names and teams competing, plus the glory of possibly coming out at the top of the leader board, it is an explosive, exciting and memorable event.
