Watch England men play Italy at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome for their penultimate fixture of the 2026 Six Nations on this very special short break. You'll also hear from sports commentator and journalist Nick Mullins who will give a pre-match talk at your hotel.
Staying at the four-star Best Western Plus Hotel Universo in the centre of Rome, you'll spend a day at your leisure exploring the sights. Perhaps, you'll wish to visit its ancient ruins - the Colosseum (one of the New Seven Wonders of the World), Pantheon and Roman Forum - or explore neighbouring Vatican City to see the Sistine Chapel. As well as history, Rome is home to galleries and gardens, so you could choose to wander around Villa Borghese and experience the best of both. Or take in some authentic Roman delicacies as you indulge in the city's culinary scene.
Of course, the highlight of your trip will be tickets to watch Italy versus England live in the Six Nations. In 2025, England ran out convincing 47-24 winners, scoring an impressive seven tries to earn a bonus point victory, in a thrilling encounter at Twickenham. They will expect to be triumphant again, putting on another fantastic display.
This tour is a must-book experience for avid rugby fans, combining a thrilling matchday experience with the iconic sights of the Eternal City. You will also get a framed print of one of Nick Mullins' commentary sheets - a unique memento of what is sure to be the sporting trip of a lifetime.
Upgrade to the Clubhouse Event, and join in the build-up to the big kick-off, as you celebrate and soak up the magical atmosphere in Rome. Please call for more details.
